Mixed Media with Shari Carroll: Limited Edition

Mixed Medium with Shari Carroll

Welcome, everyone, and happy Sunday! I’ve made another framed piece for my house, this time, something clean and simple with soft tones of blue.

I’m all about texture so I started out with a Dina Wakely Canvas board and cut it down to the size I wanted. I added swipes of Gesso and Tim Holtz Crackle paste. This gave me canvas cloth, smooth, and crackle.

I watered down some Speckled Egg Distress paint to highlight the crackle and get into the texture of the canvas.

I die-cut the Leafy Branch 4 times and stacked them up. Then I used torn paper to add to the back of the stack. I put a strip of Mummy Cloth on the canvas and glued the branch in place. I put the canvas in an 8×10″ frame with a 5×7″ mat board.

I hope I’ve sparked some inspiration for you to create something for your home. Enjoy!
