The Month of Love
Even though Valentine's day has come and gone the spirit of the day remains all month long! Kathleen here sharing a mixed media layout with you featuring Helmar Crystal Kote Fixative.
Today I am sharing with you a layout of my two special valentines, my daughters. This photo shows their very distinctive personalities!
I did not want to loose the color or design of this paper by applying gesso. I also didn't have any clear gesso but I did have Helmar Crystal Kote Fixative. I gave both sides of the paper a good spray. Now the paper is ready to take on the paints without soaking into the paper.
Helmar Zapdots black round 1/4 inch were the perfect size and strength to adhere these gears in place.
Helmar Acid Free Glue was the perfect medium to adhere this decorate pair of scissors and all of these copper beads in the bottle cap spilling out and down the page. This Acid Free glue gives me just enough wiggle room time to place my letters in just the right position as they cascade down the side of the picture.
Thank you for stopping by and taking a peek. I always enjoy your lovely comments.
