Since I don't mind getting my fingers messy this project was a ton of fun! I invited a whole cast of my favorite manufacturers together with my favorite Helmar adhesives and we (I) had a great time!
I used Helmar Crackle Medium, Zapdot,Craft & Hobby PVA Glue, and of course my go to Permanent Adhesive Runner.
I grabbed some of my favorite manufacturers including Maya Road, Jenni Bowlin, Martha Stewart, Making Memories, Purple Onion Designs, Ranger, Scenic Route and my favorite online kit club Kenner Road.
I applied paint and the crackle medium onto the chipboard backing and allowed to dry. I purposely did not coat the whole backing to give it a chippy vintage look. I lightly inked the bumpiness of the paint and crackle medium to make it look even older.
Martha, Martha, Martha! How I love your microbeads! I used the Craft & Hobby PVA Glue on the chipboard bird and then coated them with the beads.
This little guy hangs up in my scraproom and reminds me how lucky I am to be blessed with such a wonderful family!
Thanks for stopping by!
