Art Journal Page: Special Delivery

Hi!

So today I decided to start an art journal. I used an old diary (of 2012) which was a complimentary gift my mom got. It has yellowed pages and dates (which I love) and since she didn't use it, I borrowed it.

I was inspired by some black and white pictures of pregnancy in the "Brunch" magazine, so I decided to use one of the pictures in this art journal page. The black and white image was shaded a little with gelatos to make it noticeable amongst the blues and greens.

Please click on the images and view the pictures in big/full screen mode because these tiny pictures here do not show all the details. Thanks a bunch :)

Here are a few pictures:
