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:













Here is a picture of my mom's old diary :) which I am now using as an art journal

Dusty Attic November Challenge- I was inspired by the colors of the mood board and also the bird. I have included dusty attic chipboards (bows and bird) in the art journal page

More Than Words November Main Challenge - The word "special" is stamped twice as special delivery and I have used all the elements of the quote- blue, something borrowed and old is my mom's diary which I am using as an art journal and the heidi swapp blue spray, prima blue mica powder and tropical gelatos are all new. 
Peek-a-Boo Designs November Challenge #12 - I was inspired by the colors in the mood board and I have used 2 PABD stencils (abstract triangle dimensional) and  to create texture in the background, the dual leaf die and the Little Wonder Stamp set
