Album for Helmar

Hey Everyone

This project for Helmar Blog is a photo album cover which I decorated with lots of metal and some paper clay pieces 

Make sure you check out the rest of the Blog for some fantastic inspiration from the Design Team

 This is a Tim Holtz Album Cover that has preprinted fabric on it 

With all the metal and paper clay I painted it with Finnabair's Art Alchemy Metallique Rustic Brown

Once it was all dry I brushed everything over with a light coat of Finnabair's Art Alchemy Metallique Wax in Vintage Gold 

 But I found it to be a bit too gold so I used Finnabair's Art Alchemy Opal Magic Vintage Silk over the top to lighten it a little 

I used the Premium Craft Glue to adhere all of the embellishments to the cover which is so good for all different types of products to stick things down with 

Metal on metal, metal to fabric, paper to fabric and lots more

 This Key hole is from Graphic 45 I love how detailed it is

 The image is a piece from one of Tim Holt's Ephemera packs which I cut into an oval shape, then covered the edge with some twine

 I added a Bee Flair from Embellish With Flair Vintage Bees into a bottle top along with a piece of tulle fabric and a little clock 

 I had some Finnabair Mechanicals which is what the ART piece is which is what I added to the centre of the angels centre piece 

 Then I added some other bits of metal I had in my stash 

Now all I need to do is add photos or maybe add some art journal pages

Gift Box for Embellish with Flair

Hey Everyone

This project for Embellish With Flair I had this box that I thought I would make into a nice gift box for a bracelet or watch, I have a few birthdays coming up so I'm sure it will come in handy

I then used Colour Blast Boho Mandala Stencil with 3D Matte Gel

 I painted the box with black gesso first to make sure any other layers would adhere to the box and then painted it with a different colour gold which I didn't like

 So then I painted it with one of Finnabair's Opal Magic Art Alchemy Paints - Yellow Pink which as you can see parts show up pink and yellow on the box 

 But on the paper clay embellishments that were painted with the black gesso only, they came out mainly pink

I love how these paints work

 This set of Flairs are one of my favourites they are just so pretty and can be used on almost anything and I thought it was perfect for a gift of any sort really - I could keep it for Mothers Day even

 I glued the paper clay bow to the twine so it can be taken off without having to ruin the box

 And as always there has to be a flower x

Fairy for Helmar

Hey Everyone 

Just popping in with a quick tag I made for Helmar

Make sure you check out the BLOG for lots of inspiration from the design team they have so many great ideas

 

So I started off with painting the timber tag with white gesso and then sponged it with some Finnabair Art Alchemy White Pearl

I glued the flowers on with the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

I had a little chipboard house which I also painted with white gesso then I glued that together with the Super-Tac Glue and added extra cardboard to the back so it would be level with the roof so it would stick flat onto the tag

I painted everything I used with Finnabair Art Alchemy paints the house is Opal Magic Yellow - Blue

The metal was painted with the Opal Magic Rose - Gold 

This piece I bent in half and cut bits off the ends to fit the roof for some added texture

The fairy was painted with 

Sparks - Dragons Eye, Unicorns Hair, Opal Magic Blue - Gold, 

Metallique Vintage Rose 

I added some of the White Pearl to the tips of the flowers

So I glued the house with the Super-Tac Glue and everything else with the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive
