Hi Everyone, Its Bridget here to share with you another creation I have made using Helmar adhesives. This month I have created a very special scrapbooking page to me. It's a photo of my granddad with his mates when he was away at war.
I choose to capture this moment now because this month is remembrance day. In Australia we celebrate remembrance day on the 11th of November every year. On the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, a minutes’ silence is observed and dedicated to those soldiers who died fighting to protect the nation.
Here is the page I created:
Some items used:
Helmar Acid Free glue
Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste
Helmar Scrapdots
Water colour
texture paste
wycinanka wood veneer
burdy embellies chevron arrows
First i created a background using texture paste and watercolour.
I often use the "smooshing" technique to apply watercolour. Its is so easy and simple. Just on a piece of plastic put your watercolour on, flip it onto your paper and gently rub or smoosh your colour onto the page. I just used browns for this page.
Then even though this is a copy of the original photo, I still wanted to protect it as much as I can. So I used Helmars Acid free Glue, to add some strips of paper.
My granddad loved horse racing, so from the racing section on the paper I glued downs some bits of newspaper using Helmar's Decoupage Paste.
Next using scrapdots I added the photo.
I love how Helmar Scrap Dots lift my photo off the page.
All that was left to do was add some embellishments using Helmars acid free glue and I was done. I couldn't think of a title that captured what I felt when I look at this photo, so my page is without a title. Once again here is my page.
Thank you for joining me. Happy crafting.
