My first hybrid card

Good morning! This will very likely be my last card before leaving for Hong Kong on Sunday. My daughter is leaving for London this morning and I have a fancy dinner to go to tonight. This weekend will be all about packing. It sure takes a lot of work to get ready for a trip!

I made this card for the 2s4y challenge here.
This is Laura's sketch


and this is my card



I am all kinds of excited about this card!!!! First of all, I bought some digital kits from 2Peas after seeing cards from Alice and Lucy. The flower are from Hero Arts Garden Flower Sketches, the background is from Vinnie Pearce's Typography Corner and the floral paper is from a free kit by Sara Schmutz called "Just About Me".

While playing around, I figured out how to work in layers. Not a big deal to those who know how to do it, or for those of you that read instructions rather than blindly clicking around in hopes of finding the right thing, but it was super exciting for me! LOL!

I channelled my inner Jill and inked up the edges. I know, my inking is very subtle but it's there. I almost forgot that I own a stippling brush. Who knew?! I used Tea Dye Distress Ink.

The stamping on this card is the sentiment which is from the Essential Messages clear set.

Don't you love discovering new things?! There are so many possibilities with paper and ink and technology!!!!
