It's time for a new challenge over at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday and the optional twist is: "Elegant or Rustic?" Now, that's not a tough one for me! My projects seldom sit on the classic side of elegance! However, I wouldn't say they are truly rustic for the most part.
So, let's go with Elegantly Rustic!
I created this layout using the beautiful artwork of Julia Spiri. If you've not seen her lovely art, you can see it here. She is very talented with so many styles...all of them so creative! This particular image is sepia, but it also comes in grey scale and grey scale light. (I am in no way connected with Ms Spiri, I just enjoy sharing info about artists/images I really like!)
Interested in knowing more about my embellishments for my journals? Check out this video.
