Art Journal with some bookpaper !

I used some maps bookpaper to create this huge Hydrangea. The background has also been covered with the same bookpaper, with torn edges,  and after that I stamped the Hydrangea with black solvent ink, colored it with watercolorcrayons.  I covered that with watered down gesso, so the maps paper and hydrangea are more undefined.
I LOVE working with bookpapers, it give such depth, so many possibilities... 

 

Looking at nature - 'Who but GOD could create such beauty?'

I am entering this in the challenge on
