Hi everyone, how ironic is this, I created a word plaque for my craft room, the word is "HAPPY", which is what my craft room is, my happy place, the place that keeps me sane, my zen.
This project is a multi layer cardboard word, but you could use any word or letter made out of plastic, mdf or wood.
For this project I used a 12" piece of black and white flower patterned paper, some assorted black and white flowers from my stash, Helmar Crystal Kote to seal my painted word, the Helmar Tacky Glue to attach the paper and lastly Helmar450 Quick Dry to attach my flower embellishments.
First step was to paint my word I used white gesso as a base coat, then I finished off with black gesso and to seal and preserve it I sprayed the gesso coats with the Crystal Kote Matte varnish which also gave it a slight sheen.
The whole word did not fit on the 12" paper so I traced the "APP" letters first and then used the left over paper for the "H" and the "Y".
I used the tacky glue to attach the paper because it allowed me to manuver the paper to line it up exactly and also gives a very secure attachment.
I have then used the 450 fast drying glue to attach my flower embellishments
And then it is finished
"HAPPY" creating!
