Hi Everyone, Beck here with another project. This time I am sharing how you can get more out of your Helmar Acid free glue.
I have ALWAYS loved those clear looking droplets of colour for boy layouts as what I call ‘boy bling’. I have since gotten to creating my own allowing me to be more in control of how big they are. I absolutely love them for water layouts too, and well in this one I have brought the two of them together!
To create the dots, all you need is a craft sheet, some Glimmermist or chalkboard as well as OF COURSE your Helmar Acid Free Glue.
Simply place dots of the glue on the craft sheet.
While still wet, give them a spray in your desired colour. The colour separates a little, but don’t worry.
Allow them to dry (the white in the glue disappears) and simply peal them off and stick them to your project. I find that I don’t even need to add any glue to stick them down ESPECIALLY when placed on the photo, as it sticks SO WELL to that surface!
To create the layout I have also used some Helmar Liquid Scrap dots to lift the ‘splash’ created out of the patterned paper.
I hope you enjoyed my share today and have a go at creating these yourself. There are limitless applications for this techniques, including using stensils, creating different shapes as well as Flowers that I will have to share in another post!
Happy Creating,
Helmar USA Inc. Design Team Member
