Door to somewhere special

This month my project is a canvas with a door to somewhere special I’m hoping it will bring out your imagination and you can picture yourself going through it to somewhere magical

I used both of these glues

Tiger Grip Adhesive  and Craft & Hobby PVA 

I used the Craft & Hobby PVA for most of the project

Here I’m laying down a base of the glue for the rice collage paper door

I also put a thin layer over the top of the image 

I find it helps make the rice paper blend better with the background

I used a paperclay door and tiny house from some moulds that I have I painted them similar to the door in the image

I used some sheer material behind the door for some contrast

Then I added some cardboard to raise it up for dimension 

Then I found some metal in my stash and used the Tiger Grip Adhesive for these

I know this adhesive will hold these onto the cavas it’s one of the strongest glues 

I put a bit of glue on the backs of the flowers

Then placed them around the canvas where I thought they would look perfect

I also added some extra embellishments to add some more focal points 

 I hope you like my project I really enjoyed creating this one 

Thanks for looking I hope you’ll be back soon and don’t forget to check out the rest of the blog for more inspiration xx

Me by Suzanne

Hi everyone Suzanne here 

This blog post is a canvas about me and this is very rare as I never do anything about me 

But recently I had my hair done (I had mesh integration done) I know having your hair done doesn’t sound like much but this is a big process and its made me feel like a different person maybe like my younger confident self again I’m not sure anyway this is not a diary post hahaha This is about my canvas I created 

Also make sure to check out our blog for the other designers awesome work for great inspiration  and the Helmar Website  for all your glue needs 

I used Super TAC Glue and 450 Quick Dry Adhesive for my project 

I Started by adding some texture paste through a stencil around the top edges and the back of the canvas

 Then painted it yellow but it was way too bright so painted it white to tone it down a lot 

I added lots of cardboard to the back of my photo which I matted on some patterned paper and tied some ribbon across it

I then glued down some gauze before adding some wired ribbon which I folded then placed it a crossed the middle 

I glued a paperclay border across the edge of the canvas which I had painted pink and rubbed over it with gold wax

I then glued down the flowers and little embellishments

Including the tiny bow in my hair

I added someSuper TAC Glue to some glass beads and placed them randomly around the canvas

Added a couple of ribbons and a buzzy bee using my favourite glue the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

And to finish off I added some quotes I thought suited my mood 

Thank you for visiting I hope you come back soon xx
