Easter Wreath for Helmar

Hey Everyone 

I made an Easter wreath of sorts for the Helmar Blog this month 

I painted this timber heart with some Art Alchemy Metallique paints - Wild Fuchsia, Fresh Orange, Lime Peel and Pure Sunshine, they are such fresh happy colours 

I used Memory Maze's Scribble Frame over the muslin 

I used 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to adhere all the chipboard and plastic pieces onto the heart 

I used the Foam Glue to stick the bunny down after I cut him in half so he would sit right onto the heart, he's made of polystyrene so the foam glue is perfect

I found these plastic eggs with a chicken in a nest but I didn't want to use the chicken easters about bunnies

Make sure to check out the Helmar Website for all the different glues available and what each one is used for

Book Cover for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone 

My turn on the Memory Maze blog today and I thought I'd decorate the front of a book I got cheap out shopping the other day

Make sure you check out the rest of the blog for great inspiration from the Design Team and see what's new on the Memory Maze Website as the Boss seems to have a great imagination and brings new things out all the time

I'm not sure if I'll use this as a note book or as an Art Journal yet but I'm sure it will get used eventually 

I found this book in a store for $5

I then used black gesso with a roller it gave it such a smooth finish

In this corner I added a paper clay ceiling rose a metal piece and the Mini Frayed Edge Chiffon Rhinestone Flower Light Pink with a few little white flowers 

The pink chiffon flower is so pretty I could use it on everything LOL

I started buy putting the Scribble Frames Two and Embellishments down, I added a doily then added some straws that I cut at different lengths, I then put a silver metal circle under the Owl Swirly

I added the key to the side and some muslin to the other side 

I used some Pineapple Fusion I won from The Resin Rainbow it came with a whole bag of goodies then I added a paper clay ring of flowers over the top to make it look a bit like a wreath on a door with a little resin heart 

Along with the paper clay key hole

Then I added the Wrought Iron 30 to look like some iron work on the door

I added lots of the timber bits that you get with your canvases and then added one of the globes from the Globes set

I used a metal that had diamonds around the edge and added some flowers along with some Mermaid Beads

I had some of the Chicken Wire Small I cut it into two pieces and used it in two of the corners of the book

I used a metal corner and added a glass bead as well as some Mermaid Beads and some Diamond Gems

I love flair buttons and this one is from Flutterby Designs

The little camera was from The Resin Rainbow as well

I went around and added bling and Mermaid beads where I thought they were needed 

Then I used some Finnabair Art Alchemy acrylic paint that's gone a bit thick- I used my finger, so I rubbed it over everything then I used some Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dust in Lollipop that I have made up in a bottle with water spraying as I went till I was happy with the finish

And I glued everything down with Helmar Premium Craft Glue

I had a tassel so I attached some string so I could use it to mark what page I was up to in the book
