I’ve chosen my red digital paper (from genuine spirit kit by Michelle Coleman) Then i wanted a doodled white background. I couldn’t find any so I made my own with Jackie Eckle’s Doodly font.
I also wanted to emphasize the red and black in the LO, so I converted all my photos to black and white using Lightroom.
I printed out all the photos in photographic paper. I printed the papers in matter paper as well as a red version of XOXO to use as an element. In a transparency I printed my journaling and a swirl (from Le Jardin kit by Michelle Coleman).
I tore the red paper, curled the edge a little bit, cut all the photos, I printed them on different sizes as I had lots, but since I couldn’t choose I included all of the photos and laid it all out:
My favourite photo of the series I printed out bigger and cut out the boys from the background. Then I added mounting tape to make it “pop” off the page.
I am so proud because I decided from nowhere to doodle some wings on the letfover white paper. You have no idea how big this is for me, I can’t draw, I always want to, but I really can't LOL. Proof is when i tried to do the wings again I couldn’t. But these ones turned out very cute so I decided to add some mounting tape to it and include it behind the red xoxo.Now to the bit that frightens me the most, because if I crew this up I have to start from scratch: the stitching.
It went all right, thankfully... it was not easy though, my little machine doesný handle big jobs too well. But I love the look of real stitching, so I had to add it :)
Here is the finished project:
What do you think? (if you click on the images you can see bigger versions on flickr)
Don't forget to stop by the Little Dreamer Designs Blog and have a look at the Focus on Color challenge.

I absolutely l.o.v.e.d you hybrid page. By the way, the reason why I decided to start using my printer was my visits here. So much inspiration!
I have you on my feeds now and I'll keep on trying to produce more hybrid projects.
Thank you for all your good work :) x
