Architecture - a first attempt!

The theme at Art Journal Journey is Architecture - chosen by Sheila. I have seen so many wonderful digital compositions I decided to have a go myself using Printshop on my Mac.It has taken quite a time as I kept losing the edge of the image and had a black line down the side - to show you I have printed it out, cut off the black edge and photographed in my journal.
the background is a page from my journal - ready to use for something else….
the image is one of the photographs I took in Edinburgh
the birds and the quote are from Printshop.

 I think I need more practice so you may see more of this style!

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    This is seriously good, I am so impressed with the way you merged the photo into your journal page. It's such a good result - like looking through an old tumbledown wall to see, magically, a perfect interior.

    Wow, Chris, this is amazingly clever!! I would not have a clue how to achieve something like that, it looks wonderful! The background is stunning and the way you have integrated that beautiful photo into it (St Gyles)? looks just perfect! Very impressive, - I look forward to seeing more!!

    I think you already have digital mastered far better than I could. I'm super impressed. Of course, I love that you used your own photo, and the entire piece works so well for AJJ's challenge this month.

    Looks like a great job to me. I find those programs so overwhelming some times that I just don't go there. Looking forward to more digital work from you. xox
