Dreamer of Dreams: Mixed Media with Shari Carroll
Welcome everyone and happy Saturday! I hope you’re having a crafty weekend! I’ve created a simple mixed medium project starting with a wood Prima plate, a photos and beautiful colored flowers. This is one of those simple to do projects but it looks like it took hours.
I am so fortunate to have my little Melody in my life, but also her mom Jasmine who takes the most amazing photos. I’m always inspired to use them in my projects. This photo is one of recent favorites where Melody is looking down while wearing light colored sunglasses. I had it printed in black and white and then surround it with colors of Spring.
I used a Copic marker to color in just the flowers of her headband. The Prima flowers come in a mixture of colors so it was easy to find a coordinating pink.
I love creating small clusters of items to balance my designs. This Prima Ephemera bird and Quote Chip work together with the few flowers to create that balance.
If you know me, you know that I love texture. I’ve used a StencilGirl swirl stencil with white paste on the book text to obscure it a bit and add a raised area.
I think this will make an excellent Mothers Day gift for Jasmine. Don’t you?
I’ve filmed a video of the whole process which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
