Happys on Sticks


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
over at

Thank you for calling in to see me today.  you are welcome here your comments are always appreciated.

  3. Love both versions Yvonne - the colours are very warming and cheerful,
    just the tonic on a cold wintery day - well we had about 5 minutes of fine sleet earlier.

  12. The texture you've added over the original is pretty amazing and so effective and beautiful.
    I think I would have been happy with the original but you've made it into so much more, that's clever.

  17. Such a beautiful page! The Brusho and store card technique you used to create the background sounds like fun and the vibrancy and patterning is fantastic :-). Your flowers are filled with happiness especially with your addition of the smiley face, I love your circle design - very clever! Happy Friday and wishing you a great weekend! J :-)
