Colours of October for AJJ


An autumn page for  October  over at

where Valerie is hosting her theme of 
Indian Summer,  Golden October,  Autumn.








My hybrid page started off with this painted, splashed, smudged and splattered page in my 8 x 8 inch journal,






Next addition was the stamped owl image. which was  shaded with Distress  ink -vintage photo.
I love owls and on our last trip away for the season in the caravan we could hear them each evening in the woodland where we were staying.
After these two photos were taken,  I enlarged the base layer to  A4 size. 
Then blended in the page with the owl before adding some digital images and the words.

Thank you for calling in to see me today, your visit is always appreciated.

  13. Stunning page Yvonne! Wonderful hybrid work! I do have a question though, - once you have finished adding the digital imagery, do you then print the finished piece or keep it as a digi file??

    1. Hi Astrid,
      I do mainly keep the completed pages in a digital file. If they were to be used on a journal spread then I print them out.
      This 8 x 8 original page will get some typically crafty additions added later, so is currently labelled work in progress.
      I often finish pages digitally, these days as my hands and fingers, don't hold things as well as they once did.
      hope this answers your question
      Yvonne x

  20. BIG WOW Yvonne on what you've created here!
    Beautiful owl and castle and most effective in black n white.
    Blended with that wonderful sploody background and a touch of bittersweet too!
    Happy October to you and yours.
    I hope to see a wild owl out in nature one day...so far it's a not yet.
    Hearing them must be a real thrill too.

  22. That's great how you started from your painting and then added the stamped owl (I love this owl in front of his castle) and then merged all the parts together. Great result.
    Imagine hearing the owls from your caravan, that must have been wonderful.
