Mixed Medium with Shari Carroll: Love
I was feeling the need to create a girly mixed medium project… one that represents the love of Sisters… Aunts, Mothers and even Grandmothers. I’ve had this idea swirling in my head to put a frame on a canvas. The smallest Wooden Tray from the Prima set was the perfect size!
I chose the Love Clippings papers and flowers to start my color scheme. Then added in some of my favorite things like book text and embossing paste through a stencil. I used this Bo Bunny Laser Cut Butterfly, leaving it natural on top of the small frame.
I painted the wood letters with Worn Lipstick Distress Paint, then added a bit of Nuvo Copper Mousse to tone down the pink.
One of the finishing touches was to splatter on some Metallique Gold Rush Acrylic paint that was diluted with water then tapped off using a paint brush.
I filmed a full process video which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
