The biggest trick in making word
art is the use of many layers/text boxes.
The fonts used here are Beautiful Caps ES and Beautiful ES.
Open a new project, 5" tall and
8" wide
Open your 1st text box/layer- make
an L in Beautiful Caps, 128 pts, fade to 80% opacity
Open your second box/layer- using Beautiful-type
"ove" 128 pts, fade to 80%. Move this box close to your
L.

Open a nex box/layer- using Beautiful
Caps at 72 pts, make an L
New Box/layer-using Beautiful at 72
pts, type "ove...", move this up close to your L.
New box/layer- using beautiful at 48
type "we know the truth,". Move this up under your e on
love.
You should now have something like
this

New box/layer- using Beautiful at 48
type " not only by reason,". Here trial and error
comes in to play. You need to move the box around until it looks
good, and you have no letters
over lapping the ones in the prior line like so

Here is more like how it should look

New text box/layer, using Beautiful
at 48 type "but by the heart."

New text box/layer, using Beautiful
Caps at 128 at 80% make an "H".
New text box/layer, using Beautiful
at 128 at 80% make "eart".
Move the H box so the curlycue on the
bottom nearl touches the "L", move the "eart"
up close to the "H".
The completed project should look somewhat
like this
Making word art is a lot of trial and
error, moving things around and experimenting with letter/word placement.
Don't be afraid to try different things, fonts, sizes, and don't
forget... LOTS of
text boxes/layers! Have fun!
