Art Journaling with Shari Carroll: Enjoy the Journey

Welcome to the blog!! It’s Shari here with another Art Journaling inspiration using resist techniques with embossing.

I’m in the mood for Spring so I’ve kept my colors soft by using a wash of watercolors and Simon Says Stamp Smoke ink for my stenciling and stamping.

I cut the circle from Canson Watercolor Paper using the largest die from the Simon Says Stamp Nested Circles dies. I white embossed the beautiful Paper Artsy quote, then lightly watercolored the circle. Once it was dry, I stenciled on top to create the additional resist.

I die cut the Outline Clustered Leaves, stamped and watercolored the flower, and then added a chip quote to finish it up.

WATCH THE VIDEO:

I hope I’ve given you the inspiration to create a circle journal page using resist techniques with watercolor and stencils. Enjoy!

  1. Beautiful! I love the faint flowers and soft background. It really creates a elegant and stunning card. The flowers for the focal point are beyond beautiful!

  2. I need to make birthday cards for two friends and this will be the inspiration, though it’s a journal page. I can always count on Shari to spark the imagination! Thank you!

  3. Shari this is so beautiful. I love the soft colours you used on the background then brought them out in deeper shades for the floral piece. Simply beautiful.

  4. So very pretty and delicate looking! What do you do now with this piece, is is part of a card?

  5. Shari, your work is so gorgeous! I must try to make something like this. You always inspire me. Love your styles. You have taught me so many new things through the years. Thank you for being such an inspiration!

  6. Stunning Shari. I love how you made the background with the embossing and on top the stencilling.
    Your art is always such a great inspiration, thank you so much for sharing.

  7. Stunning! I love watching your process which is enhanced by the gentle guitar playing in the background. You have mastered “less is more” as you create these delicate treasures!Thank you for taking us on your inspirational journey!

  8. Hi Shari,

    I left a message for you on the Youtube channel for this particular video as well. But thought I’d ask the question here too. Is Simon no longer carrying the main products used in your journaling video?
