Bottle for Helmar

Hey Everyone

This weeks project is for the Helmar blog make sure you check out the rest of the blog and see what the rest of the Design Team have been up too

I was given this bottle and loved the shape so thought why not decorate it

I also created a Youtube video here's the LINK 

These are the Helmar glues I used through the whole process for the metal and heavier things I used the Premium Craft Glue, for the string and large beads I used the Super-Tac Glue and the Tacky Craft Glue I used for all the little beads and paper clay 

I used a stencil randomly over the bottle with some texture paste then painted it with black gesso

I also wound string around the top and bottom of the bottle for more texture

I used some muslin over the bottle for some added dimension

I then started adding my embellishments using the different glues depending on what I was putting on the bottle

Making sure to add something to the lid

Then covering the whole lot in black gesso 

Then I chose 5 different colours of the Finnabair waxes - White Gold, Rose Gold, Old Silver, Vintage Silk and Turquoise Satin which is the main colour I used on the whole bottle

Thank you for visiting and I hope you come back soon x

My Dear for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

So for my Colour Blast project I decided I'd use this little 

shadow box kit I had bought awhile ago

I thought it would make a cute little picture frame 

Don't forget to check out the Blog for more inspiration from the rest of the team and also see the latest Kit Club designs

I started off by painting everything with Colour White Gesso to give and even coat and for all the products to adhere to the timber evenly

On the inside of the shadow box I used Colour Paste Tangerine Dream and on the outside I used Stormy Weather

I then used Colour Shimmer Cubes (which I shouldn't use as we don't have them in stock I'm just lucky enough to have the whole set of these) but I'm building on my Colour Shimmer Sprays collection and don't have those colours yet 

So I used Tangerine Dream and Stormy Weather in those to paint some of the timber areas like the stand, the scroll at the top and around and inside the shadow box

I then painted the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Chipboard Stickers with the  Colour Shimmer Brush Markers - Sliver on the deers head and then Clear on the flowers underneath him and then on the frame around the photo and the arrows and hearts then a little on the all the flowers (once you start you can't stop) they just add that little extra touch

I also used the Silver on the scroll at the top of the shadow box

And added a Cocoa Vanilla Studio Flair Button inside the shadow

box

B Fearlessly Authentic for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

I started to do 5D Diamond Paintings and thought I'd like to put one in a frame and use a bit of mixed media with it

So for my Memory Maze Blog post this time I used another owl LOL what can I say I'm a bit obsessed with them   

With all the Memory Maze products I used silver leaf

I stared by adding a paper frame around the canvas 5D diamond Painting (which wasn't easy just saying)

I then used Mini No 5 Wire Stencil with texture paste once it dried I used Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dusts in Lollipop, Sunshine and Peacock

Here you can see both the Wrought Iron 40 with the silver leaf which I glued with the Helmar Tacky Craft Glue 

Which I also did on Heart from the Globes and the B Fearlessly Authentic

Under neath the heart I used some Charms Creations hearts from two different packs and a paper clay piece that my mum made for me  

Here you can see some Petal flowers I've had for ever and thought this would be a perfect project to use them on 

I also used some metal that I've had in my stash 

The little bottles are filled with extra beads from other 5D Diamond Paintings I've done

And you can see the Super Pinned Bling there how pretty is it 

I also love flair buttons and am getting quite a collection and now thanks too It's and Bits Craft Supplies I've found a whole lot more to add to my collecion

This gorgeous tree of life was from a friends store that was a broken item she had

She thought of me which I'm so thankful for because it's so pretty and was perfect for this project

I am me for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

This project for Colour Blast was made for a new friend for a reminder of where she has come from and where she has been in her life 

Make sure you visit the Colour Blast Blog and discover what fabulous creations have been made over there lately 

So I started of by painting everything with the Colour Blast White Gesso to give everything a nice even surface to work on

I then mixed in some Colour Mica Powder Espresso with some clear gesso too make a nice shimmery colour for the frame and some of the embellishments 

It's a shame the camera doesn't pick up the shimmer

Tip - Make sure to put the powder in first that way you won't get the dust floating up as you mix it together

Then on a few of my embellishments that I used the Colour Mica powder mix on I added Colour Embossing Powders - Bling and Sienna just a little sprinkle on them for some contrast

On the Memory Maze Ladies form with decorative wings I added the Bling so it would stand out and then used some Colour Artist Ink in Slipper which I also added to a few of the other embellishments to brighten up the piece

On the background of the frame I glued some material using the Helmar Super-Tac Glue it's a good strong glue and keeps things in place for ever 

I then too some Colour Artist Inks in Soot and Rust and added them to the background spraying water as I went until I was happy with the colours

Then the fun begins arranging everything I placed a sheer piece of fabric in the back under all the flowers to soften things 

I thought I'd use yellow flowers as it's such a happy colour and the quote is quite heavy and deep and then the little pink paper clay embellishments scattered I think add a bit of fun 

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come back soon x

Gift of Love for Helmar

Hey Everyone

This project I created for Helmar is an album for a friend who is giving it to his girlfriend for her birthday 
There are pages inside the album that I also used the Helmar Glues on but they are personal so I didn't share those with you
So it's a short blog post this time 

On the cover background I used texture paste with a  Heart, Butterfly and Cogs Stencil  from Memory Maze then used Colour Shimmer Dusts in Velvet and a spritz of Lollipop which I have made up in a water bottle from Colour Blast

I used another Memory Maze stencil this time Noughts and Crosses to make it look like hugs and kisses I also used some of the Memory Maze chipboard through out the album 

I used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive 

For all of the photos I used the Acid Free Glue

Each page had more detail but like I said they were private and I couldn't share I just shared this on so you could see that I'd used the Acid Free Glue for the photos

With the embellishments I used Finnabair's Royal Robes wax and then Old Silver lightly over the top to bring out the details

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come back soon x
