Two versions of the same journal page today.
This one is the hybrid version, I took the original photo into my computer program,
then added some extra digital images .
On the left is the original version. A messy inky background, created with brusho powders and liberal amounts of sprayed water. I didn't use a brush, just scratched it over with an old plastic store card.
The flowers were Paper Artsy stamps, that I had to fussy cut as they didn't stamp onto the ink.
I will be linking with Linda's theme this month of, 50 Shades of Red

Both versions are so beautiful Yvonne - a wonderful entry to Linda's RED collection!

What fun you must have creating these pages. I don't have a clue how to use digital embellishments! I li9ke the first one with the contrast of black.
