Hello there, and happy mid week to you! Today I have a quick, easy, and fun layout to share with you. Besides the picture, the multiple textures on this LO makes me so very happy.
What makes me happier is how well Helmar adhesives grips and hold the various textures/weight of the embellishments I love to use. I'm always secure in knowing that I can use as many embellishments/textures on my projects and they will hold their place. So go and pull out your metal, wooden, plastic and paper embellishments and I'll show you how I created this LO.
To start, I used a mask, mediums, inks, embossing powder, etc to create a background on my patterned paper. Once you've achieved the desired background, now it's time to start adhering your layers. I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry adhesive.
By using the 450 Quick Dry adhesive, it gives me enough time to adjust the layers before it set. Also, I don't add adhesive directly to the edges of my paper, just in case I need to tuck items under an already adhered piece.
Because I pre-lay my components, I know where I need to add more height due to layers beneath each item. Here I only needed to add three 1/2" Square Zapdots due to where the picture would be positioned. Being that the center and bottom left corner of my picture will sit higher due to a previous layer, I only needed to add spots of liquid adhesive to secure.
To secure my thread, I added a spot of 450 Quick Dry adhesive then added Zapdots to one side of my metal embellishment. The metal embellishment will layer right above the thread and both will be secured to position.
And after adhering a few more embellishments here and there, here's the final result of my LO.
I hope you enjoyed watching my process as much as I enjoyed creating it.
Thank you so much for stopping by and creatively enjoy the remainder of your week.
