As soon as I saw the Hopes digital collection I knew I wanted to make a hybrid card. The hybrid card I'm sharing is made using both traditional card making methods and adding digital elements printed at home.
The background is a digital collage printed on cream and vellum cardstock. In a happy accident I learn that layering the same print on paper and vellum results in a more vivid image as seen below in a comparison to the cream cardstock image alone.
Photo corners attach the vellum to the card. I stamped the greeting strip and added pearls for a little shine. To finish I added a vellum envelope, again made using hybrid methods. I recolored a Hopes digital paper to have a slightly darker hue and printed it on vellum cardstock. Then I made my envelope using the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board (available from Club Scrap). I was able to get just enough opaqueness to hide the greeting. Supplies are from the Club Scrap Hopes Collection (traditional and digital) with added pearls, Club Scrap Earth Hybrid Ink, and dimensional adhesive.

Another stunning card and envie, Debby! Thank you so much for sharing your idea. I love how combining the two layers created such lovely dimension. (And thanks for making the CST cards this month, too!)

ReplyDeleteDebby, your card and envelope combo is terrific. Love how the images pop! And you did such a great job with the Scrap Rap cards.

Hi Debby! I love your warm autumn palette and use of vellum. I have some, I love it, and yet I haven't begun playing with it. I want to thank you also for the shout out at Club Scrap. I noticed a few folks coming over from there and I really appreciate that.
