Salutations and welcome to my post for the StencilGirl Tim Holtz Blog Hop!
I made 2 pieces, Tropical and Learning to Play.
Here’s how in less than 60 seconds!
Supplies:
Tropical Stencil by June Pfaff Daley for StencilGirl Products
Ripples of Imagination Stencil by Trish McKinney for StencilGirl Products
Ranger – Tim Holz Alcohol Inks: Cranberry, Mermaid, Clover, Indigo, Amethyst
Ranger Ink Blending Tool
4″ x 6″ Photograph
Glass Picture Frame Panels, Glass Glue, Wire Stand
I was delighted with this photo of my daughter, Andromeda, when I took it and vowed to do something more exciting with it than just print and hang it on a wall. I had a thought when I saw the Tropical Stencil and and then an epiphany when this blog hop opportunity presented itself. I am delighted with the result and hope it inspires you to incorporate a favorite photo into artful play!

Such an awesome idea! Would never have thought of that myself. Beautiful!

What a great idea! Never thought of using the inks on glass, and I loved your music one! (need to go through my old music sheets and see what I can part with . . . )
Thank you!
Great idea Carol, and the projects turned out awesome! Thanks for using my stencil too 🙂
Thanks Gwen!
Beautiful projects on glass, wow!

Thanks for you kind comments.
If I was on Facebook, I would use the emoji of the shocked mouth open = how did you come up with this idea? So very cool and I love the results! Just beautiful!! ~Rachel Bell
A couple years ago I saw an old photo of a landscape in a frame and there was silhouette of a person painted in black ink on the inside of the glass. The idea percolated.
Thanks for sharing your fabulous inspiration.
Glad you liked it!
Hi Carol, you did it again! I love these projects. The glass layers are so cool and stencils I don’t have yet! And I always love Mandalas!
Aw thanks SunMoonGal!
This is lovely! I would love a step by step tutorial, although the slide show was much appriciated. I love the look achieved and the versatility of the tropical stencil. Thanks.
Thanks Annette.
Lovely work!
Thank you!
Love the palms/waves/hibiscus with the photo, and the layered glass (and gesso!) is just brilliant. The sheet music background, ditto. Thank you for sharing such a cool, totally unique “technique.
Thank you so much!
WOW!
Great process!
I’m not getting a live link? Perhaps I’m missing something … I’d love to see the process.
Love the colors, stencils and art work. Great hop.

Please run with the idea Jill! You always amaze and inspire me!
Carol, I have never seen this done before, I love your results. I just got 2 school photos of my grandkids from my son and they are 3″ x 4″ so I was wondering how to frame them. Thank you, you have given me some options.
Cool. Glad I could inspire!
Well, that was something different & interesting – great inspiration!

After being in relationship with him for 3 years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that i will share this testimony to all who have have a relationship problem, Anybody who need the help of the Dr Mack, you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or any other problem
His email:dr.mack201@gmail. com
