In my scrapbook layouts and projects, I adore texture on a page. I think it is so much fun to discover different ways to add layers of dimension to create interest, and I have discovered it is made easy using Helmar products.
For the technique video I have to share today, I use corrugated cardboard (a big love in my crafty life), cheesecloth, burlap, and Helmar Decoupage paste, to create the base for a colorful and visually interesting project.
As seen in the video, here are a few shots of the layout created using this technique:
I love how the mists and paints did not over-adhere to the decoupaged areas, so it created a nice, colorful, blended look. I'm so happy with how it came out.
Me being the layering junkie I am, I really enjoyed layering even more on top of the already layered background. This really soothes my soul….hehe.
I'm also a funky junkie (hey, that rhymed!)…meaning I love fun oddities. This G45 paper with the glasses and eyes really appeals to me. It's also perfect for my sweet girl who loves her glasses.
Thank you SO much for joining me today, and I hope I inspired you to give this fun technique a try. Get messy and creative, and show us what YOU can do with Helmar Decoupage Paste…the opportunities are endless!
