Craft Barn Alpha Challenge E

E isn't the easiest letter in the alphabet to come up with a journal page for, but I went with Extract as I was hoping to extract the artist/journalist in me.

I started by gluing the page in the journal and basing the rest of the page in purple, what I hadn't realised was I had picked up a metallic paint and it went on thicker than expected.  I could live with that so played around with another few colours over the top to "thin down the purpleness" I then used cosmic shimmer spray in the bottom corners, used a Stamps Away mask with Distress inks finally using  Paper Artsy and Andy Skinner stamps to add some artistic interpretation.  Hope you see the artist in me.

I do like the colours on your pages and the branches.

Great pages! Lots of depth and even subtle secondary images appear if you look at the pages a while. Very cool!

Two versions of the word extract, you have extracted the dictionary piece from the background and you have extracted your artist self. Nice spread
