Best Buddies for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

My project this week for the Memory Maze Blog is a layout of  a photo from my son's 18th Birthday Party

These are his close mates that he's gone to school with 

Two from Primary School and the other was from High School which they all went too

I started of by using the  Lots of Squares Stencil with the Finnabair Graphite Texture Paste

I raised the photo up with some cardboard and glued it with the Helmar Acid free glue the rest of the chipboard I used the Helmar Tacky Craft Glue

On the Best Buddies I used Finnabair Metallique Wax in Old Silver but then went over it with Fire Ruby because the words didn't stand out enough

On all the Cogs and Pulleys, 12 x 12 All there is is Cogs for everything and the Clock Face I used the Finnabair Metallique Old Silver Wax

I love how silver it is the chipboard actually looks like metal

Sound of Music for Helmar

Hey Everyone

My turn on the Helmar blog this time and I created a tribute to The Sound of Music but more so my favourite song from the movie 

Edelweiss 

I don't know why I love this song so much maybe because it bring the family back together I'm not sure

I also have little tributes to My Favourite Things and Do-Re-Me on there as well

I couldn't leave them off as they are some of the popular songs from the movie and when you hear them it makes you think of the movie

On the little flowers I used white flocking powder because the Edelweiss flowers look like they are fluffy so I use the Craft & Hobby PVA Glue to adhere the flock to the flowers

On the little stamens I used Colour Blast Colour Mica Powder in Olive dipping them in the Tacky Craft Glue first then dipped them in the Mica Powder 

Once they were dry I used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to glue them to the flowers

After the glues were dry on the flowers and stamens I then took them outside and sprayed them with the Crystal Kote Fixative Spray because of the Mica powder and the flocking powder I wanted to make sure they didn't come off

I used Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dust Candy to colour the white flowers I had

I also used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to the flowers to make it look like rain drops on roses 

Like always I used the Acid Free Glue on my photos

I found some of the word from the song off the internet so I printed it off on photo paper

I had a metal hat I couldn't find a straw colour like Maria's hat so I used Vintage Silk Finnabair Wax

In the background you can see sheet music which is the music from the song Edelweiss  

I used the Memory Maze Madala Doily Stencil with some 3D Matte Gel 

Then for some colour I used Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink 

Here's a close up of the Raindrops On Roses unfortunately you can see the bubbles from the glue but I still like that it looks like they are wet

Here you can see some of My Favourite Things - Bright Copper Kettle (I used Rich Copper Cinnabar Wax), Brown Paper Package, Raindrops on Roses

On the frame I randomly used Icy Snow Paste and Finnabair's Art Stones which were stuck down with Tacky Craft Glue everything else was stuck down with 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

And here - Do a Deer a Female Deer , So a Needle Pulling Thread, La a Note to Follow So

On the edge of the frame I used Rose Gold Finnabair Wax

On this Memory Maze Criss Cross Mini Heart I used Fire Ruby Finnabair Wax it has such a beautiful shimmer to it 

On the little bow I used Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink Calypso
