Door to somewhere special

This months project is for Helmar 

Make sure you check out the blog for lots of inspiration

My creation is a canvas with a door to somewhere special I’m hoping it will bring out your imagination and you can picture yourself going through it to somewhere magical

I used both of these glues

Tiger Grip Adhesive  and Craft & Hobby PVA 

I used the Craft & Hobby PVA for most of the project

Here I’m laying down a base of the glue for the rice collage paper door

I also put a thin layer over the top of the image 

I find it helps make the rice paper blend better with the background

I used a paperclay door and tiny house from some moulds that I have I painted them similar to the door in the image

I used a paperclay door and tiny house from some moulds that I have I painted them similar to the door in the image

I used some sheer material behind the door for some contrast

Then I added some cardboard to raise it up for dimension 

Then I found some metal in my stash and used the Tiger Grip Adhesive for these

I know this adhesive will hold these onto the cavas it’s one of the strongest glues 

I put a bit of glue on the backs of the flowers

Then placed them around the canvas where I thought they would look perfect

I also added some extra embellishments to add some more focal points

I hope you like my project I really enjoyed creating this one 

Thank  you for coming i hope you’ll come back again soon xx

 

Nautical Dreams Clock

This week I’ve created a clock using the Nautical Dreams range from Scrapbook Fantasies

 

I used the Nautical Dreams papers 

Paper No. 1

Paper No. 2 x 2

Nautical Stuff Colour Cuts

Bouquets Colour Cuts

Mini Pictures Fussy Cuts

A5 Colour Word Sheet

I used a MDF clock I’ve had in my stash for awhile

I made the little frames using some paperclay 

Then painted them with some brown paint and some brass coloured wax

I love these mini pictures from the fussy cut sheet they make cute little “wall pictures” 

I also cut out the bottle from the sheet 

I used  the hessian side of Paper No. 2 for the background of the clock

The stumps are from the Nautical Stuff Colour Cuts

The Nautical Dreams word is from the A5 Colour Word Sheet

I thought the Ships Wheel from Paper No. 1 was perfect for the clock and I just used my Dymo label maker for the numbers 

The bow was from the Nautical Stuff Colour Cuts and the doors are from Paper No. 1

I used the Life Buoy from the reverse side of Paper No. 2

All the gorgeous flowers are from the Bouquets Colour Cuts

The stand I painted with a few different blues that are in the blues of the papers

The other little embellishments are from my metal collection which just added an extra touch to the gorgeous papers that don’t really need much added to them to make fantastic projects

They also have a Facebook Challenge page so don't forget to check that out as well this has different challenges to enter

This month's Theme is Stay Wild Moon Child

I used an image from the Moon Magic Image Kit which you'll find on the Etsy store 

I also used some words from Sentiments pack

I used a tree stencil with some graphite texture paste - in the right lighting it shows up beautiful with specks of silver in the graphite

Then I used some Liquid Drops 3D Pearls in Pharoh to add a twinkle in the background of the canvas

I had a metal moon which I painted gold and then I also added 3D dots to the background of the image for a bit more of an effect

It's a simple project but the image is so lovely I didn't want to do too much to distract from it

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

ME

This month for Helmar  I created a canvas about me and this is very rare as I never do anything about me 

But recently I had my hair done (I had mesh integration done) I know having your hair done doesn’t sound like much but this is a big process and its made me feel like a different person maybe like my younger confident self again I’m not sure anyway this is not a diary post hahaha This is about my canvas I created 

 

I used Super TAC Glue and 450 Quick Dry Adhesive for my project 

 

I Started by adding some texture paste through a stencil around the top edges and the back of the canvas 

Then painted it yellow but it was way too bright so painted it white to tone it down a lot 

I added lots of cardboard to the back of my photo to raise it up and used the Super TAC Glue to hold it all together

I added gauze to the background then added some wired ribbon which I folded and placed across the middle of the canvas 

I glued a paperclay border with 450 Quick Dry Adhesive across the edge of the canvas which I had panted pink and rubbed over it with gold wax

I then glued down the flowers and little embellishments including the tiny bow in my hair

I added some Super TAC Glue to the glass beads and placed them randomly around the canvas

Added a couple of ribbons and a buzzy bee

And to finish off I added some quotes I thought suited my mood 

Thank you for visiting I hope you come back soon xx

Beach Baubles

 These baubles were created for Scrapbook Fantasies using their fabulous products which you can find here 

On the baubles I used some of the Nautical Dreams collection 

Back and Front

Which includes

Blue Water Colour Stripe Collage Rice Paper

Wanderlust Chippie

Nautical Dreams Colour Word Sheet 

Nautical Dreams Paper No. 1 

Nautical Dreams colour cuts Bouquets

Here I used the Blue Water Colour Stripe Collage Rice Paper 

Using water to tear the images out

I used the large waves and the image of the lighthouse

I used gesso on the bauble first and painted it so the colour behind the rice collage paper wouldn’t be so transparent 

I spread the glue evenly over the whole bauble before putting the waves one

Then I glued the lighthouse image on

I used some paperclay in a mould

This one looked similar to rope

I used some paperclay in a mould

This one looked similar to rope

Here you can see I added it to the top of the baubles

Here you can see I finished it off with the word Wanderlust Chippie, some glass bits for contrast and a few flowers

I added some string to hang it with

The second bauble I used some powders inside

I added some of the rope paperclay and string to hang with

I started off with some netting then layered the fussy cut images from the Nautical Dreams Paper No. 1 and the Nautical Dreams Colour Word Sheet 

I used one of the flowers from the  Nautical Dreams colour cuts Bouquets And added some glass pieces for some sparkle
