Shaped No. Cards

Have spent all morning trying to do a card shaped in the No. 17 but can't get it looking just right. Which font works best when doing something like this? Shirley

hi shirley
there are already some templates in the templates section under cards
some of them are number's but dont know if they have 17
i think susibi did them

hope this helps

Thanks Tina, I have looked through template section came accross lots of lovely ones (which I had to download). I think every number is there except 17. Just need to keep trying. Shirley

Hi Shirley - for number cards I like to use a font with 'sticky out bits!' ( serif type fonts) they weld better and the numbers are better defined.

Thanks Susibi will give it another try. Shirley

Something like Black Rose might work well as it's curley, if you use somethig too straight with a 1 and 7 they tend to merge together too much

This is nice. Where do you get Black Rose from please?

Thanks Nikki, I'll give that a try later tonight and let you know how I get on. Shirley

That's it posted on templates. I think it took me longer to post the thumbnail than it did to design the 17! Shirley Thanks again everyone.

And thanks Shirley because I just cut it out and its lovely :D
