Mixed Medium: Beautiful with Shari Carroll

Mixed Medium with Shari Carroll

Welcome to the blog everyone and Happy Tuesday! As we get closer to the holidays I think more about creating gifts for loved ones and this project is perfect for a that. I think a personalized gift is so heartwarming.

I’m so lucky that Melodys mom is such a great photographer and I get to play with the her photos. To start this project, I had the photo printed in black and white so I can add all my color using flowers, embellishments and paint.

The 6.5″ x 9″ Tim Holtz Framed Panel is the perfect size for a 4″x6″ photo. I used strips of Zella Teal paper from Prima around the picture to frame it out and to make the surface even.

Once everything was glued in place, I added streaks of paint by using my finger and wiped away portions of it with a baby wipe.

I added stickers and chipboards with meaningful word stickers to frame the photo.

And to finish my design, I added Zella Teal flowers and highlights of silver foil.

  1. Simply gorgeous Shari… lucky for her, her grandma is as talented as her mother. She sure is growing up gorgeous!

  2. The flowers are gorgeous; love the teal color. And I really love the B&W photo. We just came across a lot of B&W photos of my parents when they were first married … I’d love to make something like this honoring them.

  3. What a beautiful project and a darling little girl! I love how this turned out and the colors are fabulous too! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful art!!!

  4. Such a beautiful photo and project…I am inspired to go through my photos of the boys now! Love the color palette as well. ?

  5. Beautiful collage. I love watching your creative process. One of these days I’m going to dive in.
    Question-the glue stick you used, does that work for most foiling processes. It is such a cool wat to add that little bit of glimmer.
    Thanks for sharing, your videos are awesome.
