Playing around with digi hybrids

I bought a Hero Arts Download that is going to take a bit of getting my head around if I want to exploit it fully, but for now I printed off the butterfly in Word, then I over-stamped it with a script stamp and and added the colour with distress ink. Finally I stamped it with Versamark and put some clear embossing powder over it and heated it to give it some shine.
The background is a Hero Arts Stamp (I think) which I stamped in Versamark and embossed over a script stamp with clear embossing powder. I then sponged distress ink in Weathered Wood over the top and buffed it with a paper towel.
I think it's quite an interesting effect.

    Chrissie this is absolutely beautiful. Love it and can't believe it is a digital file. I tried one before from Hero arts and just had problems with it so gave up. Might have to try again.

    Love your watermark too did you make it?

    This is fab Chrissie. I didn't realise hero arts did digis-I just googled it and found them at 2peas and downloaded for free a fantastic couple of images of three 1940s ladies and a friendship stamp I had wanted! Thanks for the tip.

    Looks like quite a few of us did not realise Hero did Digi!
