Distorting Text in Cricut - Help

[4407mark]

I am working on a Halloween sign (coffin shaped) and am trying to have the text follow the counter of the sign (wider at top and narrower at the bottom). The warp feature overdoes it and I thought I had seen a way to distort the text besides warp. Any ideas? Goal is for a word to be 8 inches wide at the top and 7 inches wide at the bottom (height of letters is 3.68") o it is not significant distortion.
