Beautiful Moment for Helmar

Hey Everyone

This would have to be one of my favourite photos from my daughter's wedding
her, dancing with her dad 
She was so emotional 
She hates to be the centre of attention but I think a little of that emotion was the fact that this was it, she was no longer our little girl
This project is for the Helmar Blog so make sure you check out the rest of the blog while you're here and see the other fantastic projects that the Design Team have created and get some inspiration then visit the Helmar Website to find out where to get your glue supplies

I started with a frame that didn't have a back to it so I found a canvas that fitted and used Super-Tac Glue to adhere the two together

I then painted the frame and canvas with Colour Blast Heavy White Gesso 

I then used a Colour Blast stencil which aren't on the website yet and some Colour Paste Snow White 

I love the shimmer the paste has it's so pretty and it's subtle enough for this wedding photo because want make sure that stays the focus

I used the Crystal Kote Gloss Varnish Spray over the frame and canvas after using some rub-ons on the edge of the frame 

I wanted the frame to have a nice shine to it and the gesso is matte (unfortunately the shine doesn't show up that good in the photos) 

I used the Fabric Glue on the scalloped tulle ribbon (this colour matched the bridesmaids skirts and the flowers they had in their hair and bouquet) 

I also used it on the flower mum made out of the tulle that I stuck in the middle of the bow

I used the Fabric Glue to adhere the crocheted flowers to the canvas

Then used the Super-Tac Glue to glue the beads onto the centres of the flowers

I used the Super-Tac Glue to stick my very old thickers onto the canvas (I knew if I kept them they'd come in handy one day and this font is so perfect for this project)

The Premium Craft Glue I used to stick some tulle to the canvas then the cardboard to the canvas

I always use the Acid Free Glue to adhere my photos down to the other side of the cardboard

That way I know my photos are safe for a very long time

Well that's it I hope you enjoyed my process

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

Black and Gold Tin For Helmar

Hey Everyone

Every year Aldi have Dutch week and every year I get a tin of Speculaas (Dutch spiced biscuits) they are so yum 

And so I have a tin to use (this is last years tin we haven't finished this years biscuits)

This project is for Helmar 

Make sure you check out the Blog and see what the Design Team have been creating over the month and get some great inspiration from them

I created a YouTube Video of the process it's only a short video so make sure you pop over and watch it and give me a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel I'd really appreciate it xx

I started off by painting the tin with black gesso making sure to cover all the sides and the top

Once it was dry I then used the Memory Maze Door Wire Stencil with some Impasto through it when that dried I painted over it with black gesso

I sprayed the tin with the Helmar Crystal Kote Gloss Varnish so it is nice and shiny (always make sure to use the sprays outside as they have a very strong smell)

I started by sticking the flower doily down with some Helmar Fabric Glue then stuck the metal down with the Craft Glue

I used some Vicki Boutin Word Stickers and also a butterfly and a strip of hearts from the same pack I the Craft Glue to stick all the stickers down to make sure they don't come up

The flowers are from a Prima Pack that a friend gave me and they are perfect for this project

I love metal and have a great stash so I will always find an excuse to use some and the Craft Glue is great for gluing the metal down 

I also used it to stick the flowers, the paper clay and the little glass jar

The glitter in the jar I glued in with the Helmar Gemstone Glue which I also used on the leaf to glue the glitter around the edge

So here you can see the different glues I used 

And here's a link to the Helmar Website where you can find all the different products they sell 

They have a huge range and I'm sure you can find a different product for just about anything you may need

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