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.

I love your style, Shari. I also love to hear your thought process as you create something. “Note to self- Enjoy the journey.” is such a great message for the craft room. I continue to love the canvas we made while you were in Buffalo at Buffalo Stamps years ago. I also love the canvas you made commemorating your mom that is on your website. You’ve had such an impact on my creative development. I hope you know what an inspiration you are to all us crafters out there. Thanks!
