Hi everyone! It's Kate Vickers here today sharing a card made with Art Institute Glitter, Helmar Glue (of course) and My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing.
In order to glitz up my card sentiment, I applied Helmar's Gemstone Glue onto the My Mind's eye dimentional die cut sticker with a paintbrush. It originally had a smaller sentiment on it, but I removed it and added another one later. I let the glue get to the tacky stage and then I added a lot of Ultrafine Transparent Glitter in Angel Dust overtop. I dusted off the excess with a clean paintbrush. I did this on top of a piece of clean paper so that I could return the unused glitter to it's container when I was done. Because the glitter is transparent, you can still see the patterned paper through it and it really adds a nice touch. It makes the card special.
Without further ado, here's the card. I hope you like it!
In this closeup shot, you can see the detail of the glitter quite well. I love how it catches the sunlight.
I would also like to share this layout that I did with the Escape Kit (September) from Scrapbooking From The Inside Out. The kit features My Mind's Eye, Webster's Pages and Pink Paislee. I used quite a few Helmar products on this layout. I used 450 Quick Dry to create the flower out of the Maya Road trim and to adhere the butterfly to the center of the flower. I always use 450 Quick Dry when I need extra hold. I also used Premium Craft Glue to adhere my die cut hexagons and the photos to the page.
I used Gemstone glue to adhere the gems to my butterfly. The gems were self-adhesive, but I always find self adhesive gems eventually fall off unless you give them a little help.
Thanks so much for joining me here today! I can't wait to hear what you think of my projects.
