Vacation: Mixed Media with Shari Carroll and Buttons Galore
Welcome everyone!!! We are well into winter with snow and frigid temperatures here in the Mid West and thought it was a good time for a breath of warm vacation air!! I’ve created a quick and easy mixed media project using some beautiful combinations ofSparkletz from Buttons Galore.
I started off by creating a tray by gluing a piece of Media Board to the back of a Vignette Frame. Once I had the tray painted and dried, I added the Sparkletz one color at a time until it was filled.
I covered an 8×8″ frame with my favorite Silver Silk Tonic paper, added a few sprays of paint and a greeting… and I had my window of my vacation sea glas!!!
Thanks, Shari, for the super gorgeous mixed media project.
Just seeing that hanging on the wall would surely chase those gloomy winter blues away. Have fun on your vacay!!
What a beautiful picture! I love how the colors of the Sparkletz look against the silver shimmery background- it really does remind me of a beach vacation! Have fun on your cruise!
Super gorgeous Shari, love what you did with your Sparkletz. It’s a great idea and the sentiment is so cool.
Wish you a fantastic cruise vacation.
