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

Paint for Helmar

Hey Everyone 

I'm here on the Helmar blog to share a project I created using their glues and you will see I use quite a few different ones each for a different reason

I used a piece of cardboard to create this project I didn't have a canvas that suited what I wanted and I have large stash of cardboard cut off's just incase (I also use it to raise my photos and other things up on my projects)

So I started off by scrapping a layer of white gesso across the cardboard which gave a great texture because of the grooves in the board

I used some Prima Marketing Inc Metallic Accents Pastels watercolour paints to drip down the board

I also painted the brush stencil to make it look like thats what painted the board and the word PAINT

Whenever I glue a photo to anything I always use the Acid Free Glue so I know the photo is always going to be safe 

Then to stick the boards together I used the Super-Tac Glue I know this will hold them together well

Here I had used a stencil of a jar with some modelling paste and painted a mix of the colours I'd used and a bit of grey to make it look like paint water 

I wanted the jar to look like glass so I used the Premium Craft Glue as it dries clear and gave it the look I wanted

I used the Tacky Craft Glue or the Super-Tac Glue to add to my micro beads and Art Stones I like these as they are flexible glues and they dry clear and don't take away the colour from the micro beads like some of the other glues do

Liquid Scrap Dots is awesome for adding dimension to thin things  like these letters that need height  either side as the middle has been stuck to the arrow but the top and bottom of the letters need be stuck down too and because they are narrow it makes it hard to use anything else

Here I added a few little embellishments including a small brush, a jar that I added some bronze spray too and a Flutteryby Designs Flair Button too

The word stickers are from one of Tim Holtz's sticker books and the hearts are from a Kaisercraft sticker sheet I have had for awhile

The chipboard thistle flowers are from Memory Maze and I stamped them with a tiny dot stamp which I also used randomly stamped around various places

The arrow under the word Paint is also from Memory Maze and is part of the Boho Deer Skull with Feathers Set

Here are all the glues I used and you can find them at most of your local stores or on the Helmar site

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

Keep Calm for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone Suzanne here for a Memory Maze blog post

Make sure you're a member of our Facebook page to keep up to date with everything that's happening incase you miss a Blog post

I found this quote on Pinterest - don't they have some great stuff to find on there

So I decided it would look great on a canvas in my favourite colours

I used the Heart Butterfly Cog Stencil with clear impasto in Radom spots on the canvas

I glued my Flourish Chipboard down using Helmar Tacky Craft Glue so this was in place when I started to paint and would be covered at the same time as the canvas (I did have to use a brush along the sides of the Flourish so I could get it fully covered)

So using Impasto paints by Finnabair - Raspberry Pink, Poppy Red, Pumpkin and Lemon Peel I blobbed each colour at the top of the canvas and scrapped them down then where the lines where I blended them with a wipe so they mixed a little and created slightly different versions of each shade

I used an old paint brush and added some of the Raspberry Pink Impasto to that and after stamping a pair of scissor I painted in the middle of the handles instead of trying to fussy cut them out

To the right side of the canvas I added lots of wire for some interested and texture

I love the embellishing stage of any project and what you can use is endless I had a packet of tiny pencils which I thought was perfect for this canvas 

I used a little bottle with some liquid like an ink or spray 

I added a little tea pot because I love to have a cuppa while I'm creating and I love that crafting is such a social hobby 

I used the light bulb because isn't that the symbol for an idea LOL 

A little clock for the time that gets away from you when you get engrossed in a project

And then the words are from one of Tim Holtz's word stickers, and from Flutterby Designs Stickers and a Flair Button I love of their products they have make sure you check them out

I then went over everything with Art Alchemy Metallique White Gold Wax for a bit of shimmer and to tone down all the black

Then of course flowers, art stones and a few flicks of white gesso and thats it
