Birds of a feather, stick together….no doubt with Helmar Adhesives – LOL. I ran out of my stash of Helmar Adhesive runner last week. WAAAAHHHHH! I had no idea how much I relied on that stuff until I didn't have any left.
But fear not! I Just pulled out my Craft Glue Premium and went to town. I assembled this ENTIRE Clear Scraps album using the Craft Glue. It was pretty easy actually – I used a "splodger" (a piece of plastic that resembles a credit card) to spread my adhesive out and smooth out bubbles and bumps.
I used paper from Scribble Scrabble and made my own embellishments using Worldwin Cardstock and some Rubons I had in my stash.
I had alot of fun making the cover. I made my own "crackle paint" using Helmar Crackle Medium and Making Memories Paint. I poured step 1 of the Crackle Medium onto a paint tray, then mixed in an equal part of paint in a dark brown color. I applied it in a couple of really thin coats, then let it dry before applying step 2. I think that thinning out the medium with paint helped it to crack more then usual. I didn't paint the chipboard first, I just went right in with the crackle paint.
If you look really closely, you can see the small cracks and texture.
Thanks to Helmar Preferred Partners Scribble Scrabble, Clear Scraps and Magic Mesh for supplying the product for my project.
Until next time,
