It's beginning to feel like the holidays will be here sooner than later...am I ready? NO!...but I will be with a little help from my HELMAR. Martha Richardson here...this week our Design Team is sharing projects that combine fabulous products and embellishments from FabScraps {if you haven't checked this company out you must to see all the products} and HELMAR adhesives. I created a LO because I thought it showcased the FabScraps products I received. I prefer a simple style with a few great embellishments, for this project it was a fantastic bare chipboard frame and metal embellishments. You can see below the progression of the FabSrap pieces from plain to glimmery, from single to layered...of course this couldn't have been accomplished without my trusty Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots, Premium Craft Glue and Gemstone Glue. Leftover Prima felt pieces became the anchor for the FabScraps filigree, lock and key pieces...they won't be going anywhere soon! The FabScraps chipboard frame was first misted with Tattered Angels Mallard Glimmer Mist and then again to kick it up a notch with Ocean Spray Glimmer Glam.
Here is the finished Lo and you will see how the fabulous FabScraps pieces have helped to complete the piece. If you look closely you will see the frame appears to float over the paper, the Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots has actually lifted the frame by 1/8". Once dried it is not going to collapse on the project...that is the amazing part of the Liquid Scrap Dots! Using papers from 7 Dots Studio and Basic Grey collections they have been misted, inked, stenciled, splattered, stapled, distressed and torn and then adhered together using the Quick-Fix Adhesive Runner. Remaining Prima felt pieces are tucked into corners and another FabScraps metal embellishment with a Sparkler from Webster's Pages was attached with Premium Craft Glue and Gemstone Glue.
Because I didn't want to add journaling to the LO itself I created a simple hidden pocket on the back, applied with the Quick-Fix Adhesive Runner to secure my journaling spot.
I hope that I've inspired you to try products from FabScraps and Helmar Adhesives. I couldn't create with out my Helmar Adhesives!
Don't forget that The HELMAR BLOG HOP starts this Sat. 12/3/11 thru Sun. 12/4/11...make sure you check out all the great projects created by the design team and a few surprises!
Until next time...
