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

Baby Girl For Helmar

Hey Everyone

My turn on the Helmar blog

This time I decided to create a layout showing how you can use a few different glues depending on what you need to adhere to your layout

Helmar have every type of glue you could ever need 

I started off with the Acid Free glue to adhere the different papers together and then to the cardboard  

I used the Craft Glue (this is a clear thick glue) to adhere the cardboard to the background paper that I had stencilled on I wanted to make sure I used thicker glue to make sure it stuck because of the stencilled pattern

The Fabric glue for the lace and then some Liquid Scrap Dots to give the butterfly some height without having cardboard or foam that you have to try and cut to fit to size 

For the rest of the embellishments I used 450 Quick Dry Adhesive because I know it sticks everything from the chipboard to the metal 

The Baby Girl chipboard is from Memory Maze and I painted it with Finnabair's Impasto Acrylic Paints - Rasberry Pink and Snow White, then stamped over it with a background stamp that I have in my stash 

I also randomly stamped over my background paper which is a 7 Dots Writer's Block Sincerely which is an older range but you can still get at some stores

The butterfly is a sticker sheet that is just butterflies from an old range from Kaisercraft so are the words sing, laugh and dance 

Lots of embellishments that I've had for a while in my stash 

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