Grandma and Natalii for Helmar

Hey Everyone

This project for Helmar was a Birthday present for my mum, she's very hard to buy for as she buys what she wants and always says nothing when asked what she would like 
This is a special photo as it's of my mum and my daughter 
It's a rare thing LOL the 3 of us don't really like our photos taken so being Natalii's wedding it was a perfect opportunity to get some done (I was in this photo too but I didn't look right I was more off to the side, so I cropped myself out and it was perfect of the two of them)

I used the Acid Free Glue on the cardboard that I put the photo on to mount it up a bit higher 

The stencil I used is from Colour Blast called Boho Mandala but I bought it from Random Arts 

The papers are pieces from the Midnight Garden Range either from the Journaling cards or some of the paper range off cuts I have 

I also used the Acid Free Glue on the papers that I glued together before I glued them to the canvas which I glued them down with the Premium Craft Glue

To glue the vellum type paper I used the Acid Free Glue and then to glue the clear cabochon on I used the Premium Craft Glue

The paper had the Wedding date on it which was quite a coincides as it was from a pack of flowers from Prima

I used the Premium Craft Glue to glue all the embellishments down as it's a great strong glue and holds everything down including all the metal I used

The white flowers are from a cheap shop but all the red ones including the stem are all Prima (I love their flowers and the colour was perfect for this canvas)

I love metal it just goes with everything and these are a mix of random pieces I had, Graphic 45 and Finnabair 
I then rubbed everything with some Art Alchemy Opal Magic Wax in Vintage Silk one of my favourite colours in the waxes as its subtle and has a nice shimmer to it 
It lifted the stencilled image enough that it didn't jump off the canvas but you can see it

Hey Everyone 

Here is my latest layout 

I'm slowly working my way through the wedding photos (it will be their First Wedding Anniversary on the 18th of May lol)

I love this photo of the girls, I better do some of the boys soon though

Make sure to check out the rest of the Memory Maze Blog for loads of inspiration and check out what's new

I had this Wine Glass Chipboard in my stash which was perfect but I didn't want to paint it like I always do so the paper range from Prima I used had this paper in it which is so pretty so 

I glued it to the chipboard waited for it to dry then used a knife to cut around it

I then used some Art Alchemy Wax inAged Brass around the edge to get rid of the chipboard colour to finish it off 

I added a few feathers for something different over the top of the vellum sheet that came with the matching flowers and feathers

 One of the Prima papers has a foil print on the paper so I hand cut around it to make a frame

The little white flowers were out of one of the Prima packs 

One of the Prima sheets of paper had different sized shapes on it and I cut a few different piece from that to lay under the glass and the added another flower 

I then used the Finnabair Art Ingredients Glass Glitter in Copper randomly over the page for some sparkle  

These flowers I got from a cheap shop and added some glass glitter too as well
