To fit in with the style of the illustrations and the whole write your own recipe idea's, I have written and scanned in some hand - rendered type. You can see the texture/colour on the left on the image and the hand-writing on the right.
To create the hand-rendered type below, I scanned in my hand-writing and then live traced in illustrator. I then used clipping masks of the letters over the colour/texture background so that the text would have a nice texture to it and the colouring would fit in with the illustration.
I think it looks good and works well with the style and the design however it was just becoming impossible as the file size of the document was far too large for my computer and if I was to design each recipe card like that I was beginning to worry my laptop would crash and/or something would go wrong when going to print in the dungeon with James.
