I definitely needed to try it with the louder colors and more grunge and I like how it came out, but I tend to like less-is-more and a calmer effect in my book. And I did wonder why not a single comment for days.
I like your pages here too, wonderful art journaling!
But, I find the other pages that you have now additionally created more harmonious as a double page due to the color choice.
Still, this is fantastic work!
Sorry for the delay in commenting (home/work life balance - craaaazy!)
I actually LOVE this, I said WOW in my head when I saw it. You have done an amazing job on lifting the original and in places it's hard to tell this is a digi spread! I hope you had fun creating it, and with lifts you can put your own twist on them, doesn't have to be exact, just be inspired from the original somehow - thank you for putting so much time into this and taking part in one of my challenges xxx
