JANUARY 10: Extraction with a Twist (Technique Challenge)

Love this technique. I don't do it much but it is soooo fun!

 

This was so much fun. The stickers in the notebook and the stars ,are from some flower photos of mine. The others are my Christmas tree and Brimba my dog. Couldn't stop once I started, and I really needed to do something fun after yesterdays challenge ,so thanks again .
EDIT;Can't believe the type layer got moved without me noticing it, so I have writing on the glasses ....

 

OK, if this was not for MOC, and I would not feel incomplete by missing one challenge, id trash this now! I hate it! I watched videos and i think since my program is old and Paint shop pro that it doesn't have some of the things the ones I've watched do, or they are called something different, but ive tried all day to get this and cant get it to look right. Its choppy and crappy looking. I had to do it all by hand, pixel by pixel, even the white edging. Its awful

 

I extracted the picture of the backside of the twirling ball inside Macy's at the bottom of the page. I tried to make it look like an ornament... I have Artisan and it doesn't have the same features for extraction as PS, but I did my best manually!

 

Here's mine, fun to make it a sticker, also it let me not be as exact with the extraction, freedom and still looks great! My shadow is really light since I wanted it to look thin like a sticker

LOVE extractions but I don't usually put a stroke on them, so this was a fun twist. Thanks, Anne (loved your tutorial).

 

Okay, Anne. I'm crying about it this year! I've never done an extraction...EVER...and I'm a little terrified of this one!

 

Fun technique!

 

I made a sticker out of the castle picture in the bottom corner.

 

This was definitely outside of my normal bubble...

 

All of these pages are just amazing! I came up with this~



My image started out like this:

 

Here's mine. I've never done a rough extraction, never made a sticker out of it. Mine are always refined, even wisps of hair show. So this was a challenge for me to curb my natural instinct to clean it up. But you know, I really had fun with the entire process.

 

Well, I would have posted my layout by now if I had some wifi. No cable, no TV, no phone, no internet since Friday night. I'm going crazy here!

 

This was a fun challenge.

 

Here's mine... Thanks, Ann! Every year you pick an awesome fun technique!

 

I wasn't sure I would get this one done today. Photoshop crashed when I was working earlier then it kept freezing when I tried to reload it. I was getting so frustrated but I finally got it to load. The extraction is the photo on the right side of Spaceship Earth. After the crash I didn't have time to do a more complicated extraction like I had done earlier.
