Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with my last blog post for the Helmar Creative team! What an amazing design team to be a part of – thankyou to the whole Helmar family for having me and being so generous with spreading the love of Helmar products!
Today I am showcasing my most favorite Helmar product – it has to be the Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. I have also used the 'Off the Wall' Just Add Paper Kit from D-lish Scraps for this layout. Their website is http://d-lishscraps.openstores.com.au/
Step 1 – Take your background paper of choice. Using distress inks, I put some on the plastic packaging of the kit, spritzed with water and 'smoosched' on to the page. Dry in between each colour to avoid the colours mixing.
Step 2 – Apply more colour as you wish to create your background. While this is drying, colour the brick patterned cardstock from the kit using distress inks – I used tones of brown and dark blue for this layout.
Step 3 – Adhere the brick patterns to the background and adhere your photos
Step 4 – Adhere your embellishments to the page – I just love the AWESOME wood veneer in this kit as well as the labels. I adhered some twince using the Helmar 450 Quick Dry adhesive and adhered a flair button on top. Apply pieces of washi tape from the kit as you would like to the layout. To finish the layout, I doodled around the edges using a black fineliner.
Lets take a closer look at some of those gorgeous embellishments…
Thankyou so much and I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
