Sure....I don't want to hoard the solve, but neither do I want to spoil for those working on it. Hints still this time, and if there's further confusion we'll see about spoiling. (Or PM me if you really want one early, I guess.)

Ok, I've gotten quite a few PM's on this one asking about the PSD that I used. You can find it at:

http://www.aubereanjourney.com/156.psd (Danger! 22 MB file ahead!)

(Spoiler warning)
The layers are separated and oriented, so this is very close to a solution.

If you're just looking to see the answer, try:

Zoom out on it and you should be amazed. Wink

Amazingly, I can't get the first several letters from your jpg. And I'm not so sure about the last one either. Not an english word?

The first several letters didn't become clear to me until we shrunk the view down to 10-25% or so, then it suddenly made sense. Another help might actually be to drop the blue and purple layers in photoshop. They complete the lines, but becasue of either the scale of the card or my scanner, they're not exactly the same dimensions, it seems.

Definitely not an English word. Wink

Final answer for those who just want the solve points:

Now what about the hidden letters in the background of this card? Anyone working on that?

I'm glad there are people smarter than I am doing solves. I never would have figured this one out on my own.
