I was worried because my printer is on the fritz. I just may have to put him out to pasture, and I am not happy about it. Meanwhile, I can't print out my images to color and craft with, so I am resorting to digital and hybrid cards. The card above is a hybrid. It mixes a watercolor I painted of a toadstool I came across while walking through the woods, with this digitally-colored fairy. Since I can't print out my card to embellish it, I resorted to digital elements to finish off my card.
The nice thing about my hybrid card is that once I get my printer working (or replace him), I can print out several copies of my card, so I'll have a nice little stash of Thank You cards on hand.
Here is what went into my card:
Original watercolor by Pat Martin
Ike's Art Cute Fairy Digital Image
Pixel Scrappers: A Janner's Leather Strap 003; Janet Scott's Tag Template 002; Sheila Reid's Shine Teal & Gold Butterfly; Tina Shaw's Puffy Paint Tiny Butterflies Scatter, and MLD's Hollister String.

That is really fabulous - I love the Autumn colours. Sorry to hear about your printer.... give it a good thrashing... but thank goodness for digital scrapbooking/work etc eh ? Dragged me out of a hole before :-) Your digi work is amazing. Thank you for playing along at my Progressive Challenge.

Really love how you painted your background! I know how it is when the printer or something goes wrong but your merging of digital and handmade is simply awesome! xx
