Summer is in full swing and the earth is in its full glory. Kathleen here with another layout I created using my favorite Helmar products!
I love the bright red on this train. It reminds me of all the bold summer colors of blooming flowers and since this picture was taken in France I decided to use Graphic 45 French Country paper collection. I started by using a mask(made with Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA Glue , baby powder and white acrylic paint) which I would later paint.
Next I used my favorite Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA Glue to apply cardboard to the back of the post card size pieces that would frame around my picture. This builds up layers on your layout where you can tuck bits and pieces underneath.
My chipboard triangles were given gesso on one half then painted giving them a weathered look. The clock hand chipboard pieces were embossed then touched with paint. All of the chipboard received a thin band of Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA Glue and then tucked and stacked around the picture. Bits of lace, drywall tape and cheese cloth were added for texture and interest.
A close up of the chipboard. I also scattered a few gem stones and sequins and adhered them with Helmar Gemstone Glue. I know they are going to stay! Love these glues!
The chipboard, flowers and clock resin were all glued down with Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA Glue.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you today. As always, when starting a new project make sure to reach for your Helmar products!
