Hi there
Lisa here today with my last post for my term at Helmar.
I have really loved working with Helmar products & being on this fantastic Creative team.
Today my brief was to create an Easter related project.
Here is what I came up with.
Easter is not huge in our house - except for my kids wanting Easter eggs no matter how old they get.
One of my close friends is very big on Easter so I thought I'd make this card for her.
Rabbits & Easter themed things can be hard to find in Scrapbook/Craft collections.
I printed some ephemera from Crate Papers website. These items are from the" Flourish" collection.
I repeated several digital images (using a computer program) and printed them out on lightweight cardstock .
I cut out ones I thought I'd like to use for my card & the rest I'll save for future projects.
I used Gelatos (soft crayons) to scribble on a peace of plastic then sprayed it lightly with water. I then used my finger to gently blend it.
I then smooshed (smudged) it on my card front.
This gives a lovely soft effect so the background is not completely stark white.
I used Helmar Acid Free glue to apply any pieces that I wanted to stick down flush with the base.
This adhesive is particularly good for non wrinkling.
I used my favourite Helmar liquid scrap dots to adhere some of floral pieces & rabbits to give them some hight.
I also have some of the Helmar Acid free glue in a smaller applicator bottle - I find it helps to make application easier.
Here are some close ups of my card, you can see I added a soft doily for layering & some sequins to add some texture & bling.
So farewell for now. I hope you have enjoyed my posts. We have some fantastic new Creative team members joining this term along with some of the current team staying on. I am sure they will inspire you no end.
Take Care.
