A our lovely sponsor for this challenge is 

I have created an double page art journal using the digi image by our sponsor. 

This journal page made my life a hell, you know why? Here in India we are still on lockdown and when I received this digi we were in lockdown and here at my place all printing shop was closed and my inkjet print will not work because when I used Watercolour it will blead so. But I didn't have any option so I took print from my inkjet printer only but my bad luck the print came very light and I couldn't work on it. Now I took my archival pen and redraw on the outline and made it dark. Now I took my dry pastel colour and coloured the digi image and fixed it with a coat of varnish. I coloured my background using chalk paints and did stencilling on it. Next I adhered the digi on one page and handwritten quote on another page. I had an awesome duet with this work and will never forget this work in my life.

Hope you like it. Please do leave me feedback so that I can improve myself more.
