Hey Everyone Suzanne here,
This project for Helmar was a Birthday present for my mum, she's very hard to buy for as she buys what she wants and always says nothing when asked what she would like.
This is a special photo as it's of my mum and my daughter.
It's a rare thing! LOL The 3 of us don't really like our photos taken so being Natalii's wedding it was a perfect opportunity to get some done (I was in this photo too but I didn't look right I was more off to the side, so I cropped myself out and it was perfect of the two of them)
I used the Acid Free Glue on the cardboard that I put the photo on to mount it up a bit higher.
The stencil I used is from Colour Blast called Boho Mandala but I bought it from Random Arts.
The papers are pieces from the Midnight Garden Range either from the Journaling cards or some of the paper range offcuts I have.
I also used the Acid Free Glue on the papers that I glued together before I glued them to the canvas which I glued them down with the Premium Craft Glue.
To glue the vellum type paper I used the Acid Free Glue and then to glue the clear cabochon on I used the Premium Craft Glue.
The paper had the Wedding date on it which was quite a coincides as it was from a pack of flowers from Prima.
I used the Premium Craft Glue to glue all the embellishments down as it's a great strong glue and holds everything down including all the metal I used.
The white flowers are from a cheap shop but all the red ones including the stem are all Prima (I love their flowers and the colour was perfect for this canvas).
I love metal it just goes with everything and these are a mix of random pieces I had, Graphic 45 and Finnabair.
I then rubbed everything with some Art Alchemy Opal Magic Wax in Vintage Silk one of my favourite colours in the waxes as its subtle and has a nice shimmer to it.
It lifted the stencilled image enough that it didn't jump off the canvas but you can see it.
