Hey Everyone Suzanne here
My turn on the Helmar blog this time and I created a tribute to The Sound of Music but more so my favourite song from the movie:
Edelweiss
I don't know why I love this song so much maybe because it brings the family back together, I'm not sure.
I also have little tributes to My Favourite Things and Do-Re-Me on there as well.
I couldn't leave them off as they are some of the popular songs from the movie and when you hear them it makes you think of the movie.
On the little flowers I used white flocking powder because the Edelweiss flowers look like they are fluffy so I use the Craft & Hobby PVA Glue to adhere the flock to the flowers.
On the little stamens I used Colour Blast Colour Mica Powder in Olive dipping them in the Tacky Craft Glue first then dipped them in the Mica Powder.
Once they were dry I used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to glue them to the flowers.
After the glues were dry on the flowers and stamens I then took them outside and sprayed them with the Crystal Kote Fixative Spray because of the Mica powder and the flocking powder I wanted to make sure they didn't come off.
I used Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dust Candy to colour the white flowers I had
I also used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to the flowers to make it look like rain drops on roses.
Like always I used the Acid Free Glue on my photos.
I found some of the word from the song off the internet so I printed it off on photo paper.
I had a metal hat I couldn't find a straw colour like Maria's hat so I used Vintage Silk Finnabair Wax.
In the background you can see sheet music which is the music from the song Edelweiss.
I used the Memory Maze Madala Doily Stencil with some 3D Matte Gel
Then for some colour I used Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink.
Here's a close up of the Raindrops On Roses unfortunately you can see the bubbles from the glue but I still like that it looks like they are wet.
Here you can see some of My Favourite Things – Bright Copper Kettle (I used Rich Copper Cinnabar Wax), Brown Paper Package, Raindrops on Roses.
On the frame I randomly used Icy Snow Paste and Finnabair's Art Stones which were stuck down with Tacky Craft Glue everything else was stuck down with 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
And here – Do a Deer a Female Deer , So a Needle Pulling Thread, La a Note to Follow
So…
On the edge of the frame I used Rose Gold Finnabair Wax.
On this Memory Maze Criss Cross Mini Heart I used Fire Ruby Finnabair Wax it has such a beautiful shimmer to it.
On the little bow I used Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink Calypso .
