Growing words

I made my name with the text tool on Illustrator and then added a gradient. I then made a leaf annd a ladybug to put on the letters. I made a new brush and made small vines growing out the side of the letters. I made a groud of circles and put gradients on them. I copied them and changed there sizes and shapes to make the dirt. THen i just made a gradient on the background and i was done with my growing letters. I took me a few days to do it but it was fun.
