Alpha Challenge - Letter E

The letter E is the latest letter in the Craft Barns Alpha challenge.
The word I chose is Easel. I'm not very keen on what I've done - I don't think the watercoloured image goes with the background.


I painted the background with Fresco Finish paint. Years ago I use to do Parchment Craft and I have a lot of Pergamano Pintura Paint, it's a very runny paint so I decided to let some run down the page.
The image is from Flonzcraft and I coloured it with felt tips and water and then I sponged vintage photo Distress ink over it. I then stamped [unknown] the paint brushes along the bottom. I also scribbled lines around the edges.
I used a QuickCutz die for the black letters.

    Hi Hazel

    Don't think I'm being critical here but I agree that the background and the image don't really go together.

    I think the image is traditional and vintage the background is modern, fun and funky.

    I hope I haven't offended you, it isn't meant that way.

    Your page is packed with inspiration! I would think you could replace your center image with one that might be a more modern fit. Cool background. I love the paintbrushes along the bottom. It would also be fun to have them along the top with the bristles painted to match the dripping paint.

    I disagree with you and Hazel, your use of different intensities makes the easel pop for me.

    I think the page is just wonderful Hazel and the background goes with any image that has a painter/crafter on it. Says to me 'How ever posh you are the paint/ink still has it own life lol.

    Love Chrissie xx

    Gorgeous interpretation of Easel Hazel this word jumped out at me too but I couldn't think what to do, I love the paint running down the page a true artist getting messy.

    What a fabulous backdrop. I had an easel with paint drips on it just like that. I sort of see where you're coming from re the central image but it does have an easel in it so kind of ties in.
