For this project I used a combination of hybrid images and collage sheets. I find the hybrid images very versatile. They can be used for paper and digital projects. The hybrid images used for the background scenes are: French Garden 01, French Garden 02, French Garden 04, and Buttefly 01 PNG.
I printed the images on to a heavy cardstock brochure paper. The background scenes were then cut to the sizes I wished and edges distressed with ink. Bits of old Shakespeare text were added. I selected images from Royalty 17B Sheet and added to the piece. The background panels were mounted to cardstock and trimmed, then applied to black script pattern paper. The panel pieces were added to a strip of black cardstock I had cut into 5 x 5 sections and scored so it would fold. A fan made from folded book text was added to the back of the piece and a stamped crown for finishing touches. Eyelets were set at the sides and seam binding ribbon tied through holes.
I can visualize oodles of projects using these images (bookmarks, cards, mixed media projects etc.) and look forward to creating more art with each.
