Tim Holtz Linen: Painted Resist with Shari Carroll
I’ve been at it again… playing with more of Tim’s amazing product. I’ve had the Textile Surfaces for a bit now and have had this technique in my head, it was time to do it! I love experimenting and wanted to do a resist on fabric!! I used the Tim Holtz Gothic Layering Stencil and Transparent Matte Texture Paste directly on to the linen. Once it was dry, I painted it with watered down Distress Paints.
I was all about embracing the white space on this project and chose to leave the die cut Wildflowers clean and simple. I used Evergreen Bough Distress Paint to cover the Alpha Parts message and added just a hint of Brushed Pewter Distress Paint for a little shine.
For additional texture and to frame my panel, I used added the leaf Industrious Border and corrugated from the Textured Surfaces with gesso.
This is a nice project to display in my studio as a reminder to Enjoy the Journey!
I’ve put together a full process video which you can view below or on our YouTube channel.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, Enjoy!!
love the colors… they are awesome… they flow all together.
I really love this — agree that the white of the flowers against the soft background is still plenty of contrast and keeps the tone. I never would have seen as you began how lovely the background would turn out. But that is often the case. You have a vision that many of us lack. I would have given up early on this but you knew where you were going and it’s really gorgeous. And — I love the message! Thank you Shari for a wonderful job, as always. This really IS inspirational!
