Hybrid Sunday


Hello everyone!  I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday! 

As I decided last week that I would make Sunday's my 'play-day', today I decided to design a hybrid card for something a little different to my 'norm'.  I have done it many many times before, but not for a very long time, but as I had purchased those fabulous flower graphics from the 'Creative Market' and adored working with them (they are so stunning) on my header and signature, I decided that they would be fabulous used on a card.

I designed the card front, sentiment and the patterned paper by sampling one of the colours from the graphic, printed it out on to smooth white card-stock - the one I always use to make my cards - and took it to my craft room.

I adhered the patterned panel to a white card base - the same as I used to print the card front and patterned card - and fussy cut the corner around the graphics.  Then, I adhered the card front, that I had cut a bit smaller to allow the patterned piece to show, using craft foam.

I finished off with some of my home made dew drops. 

It takes me as long, if not longer, to design and make a hybrid card than a 'usual'.  Here is the card.





I hope you all had some fun too!

Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment.  You are all appreciated more than you know!

    Another gorgeous card Hazel, both the sentiment and the image are beautiful and the patterned panel brings the whole design together. Can I ask which smooth white cardstock you use as I'm trying to find one that I'll like at the moment. Karen x

      For the ones that I print, I use Color Copy 300 gsm laser card from Staples, it's as smooth as silk and a bright white!

      I'll make a note of that for when I'm next near Staples. Would this card be suitable for Copic/Promarker colouring or would you suggest something else for that?

      I have never tried it with Copics, I don't have any (too expensive for me), so I'm afraid, I can't advise on that one - maybe someone here could pop in with and answer for you - sorry :(

    This is gorgeous, and aren't you clever to be able to do this with the graphics in your pretty new blog. (I thought I recognized the talents of our friend Loll!) This looks just spectacular, and so does your new 'look'. You talented ladies make a winning team, fer sure! TFS & Hugs

    Amazing card Hazel, just adore the pretty flowers too, how clever. Love the graphics and your pretty blog. I intend to mix my graphics and do some inkiness on a card soon......I just get side tracked!!! we seem to think along the same lines at times I think lol ;)...are you into shabby chic yet?...I seem to be for some reason. Still not made any dewdrops yet either...oh the shame ;) hugs Viv xx
