I am having such a great time experimenting and creating the "hybrid" Digital cards- I hope you do not mind my sharing them with you :-) One of the
newest downloads is a retired set that I just love called "Touch of Nature". While I have the stamp set, I like the crispness of the printer ink against Whisper White not to mention the convenience (my printer is in my stamp area).
To create this card:
Using My Digital
Studio (MDS), print the image for the bird and sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock.
Use the Big Shot™ with
the Apothecary Accents Framelits™ Die to cut out the bird and also use the same die to cut a piece of Lucky
Limeade cardstock. Hand cut the Lucky Limeade
piece in half lengthwise to mount behind the bird and "frame" the die cut (do not worry- you will not see your "hand cut" line :-)
Color the bird image using
a Stampin’ Write Marker in Soft Suede and Crumb Cake (I had Certainly Celery out
for a previous project and used that for the leaves). To add the distressing to the bird image, use the Color Spritzer Tool with the Soft
Suede marker and finish off with a Sponge Dauber using Crumb Cake and Soft
Suede Classic Ink to soften the edges of the die cut.
Use the Big Shot™ with the Woodgrain Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Early Espresso Core’dinations
cardstock (lightly sand) and the Lacy Brocade EF to emboss a scrap piece of DSP (I used a
piece of the retired Everyday Enchantment for the lower half of the card). Mount both the Early Espresso panel and embossed DSP panel onto Soft Suede (I ended up trimming
this layer a bit too close so it is hard to see it in the photo) and add the Whisper White embossed lace paper edging (ink the interior of
the embossing folder with Crumb Cake before embossing the Whisper White
cardstock).
Add the ½” Pear
Pizzazz Seam Binding Ribbon strip, mount the bird focal image along with the Pear Pizzazz
Seam Binding Triple Bow and Antique Brads.
Punch the digital sentiment out using the Small Oval Punch and layer
with Lucky Limeade cardstock (sponged again with Crumb Cake and Soft Suede) to
finish off the card.
