Hi its Bridget here again. Today I want to share with you a scrapbooking technique that has been around for a long time, but I have only just decided to try it out. First of let me show you the completed project.
What I used:
Helmar 450 quick dry glue
A sewing machine/cotton thread
cardstock
colourblast paste
watercolour
stamps/ink
embelishments
I honestly dont know why it took me so long to try the sewing technique. Maybe it was the idea of pulling the big heavy machine out of the cupboard?? But I had to hem a school dress so out it came and while out decided now is the time to try this technique. I love the effect and texture it adds to my page.
I started off simple by doing a border in white cotton on white cardstock.
I loved the look so I added a few more lines where I was planning on putting my photo.
Next I added some colourblast paste with a stencil.
Then I added some stamping and black watercolour splatters
Then using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive attached my papers, photos and embellishments. Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive is my favorite go to glue. After spending so much time on the background of my pages, waiting for things to dry (I often find a heat gun takes away shine or blows my watercolor around too much) I just want to finish my page and Helmar 450 quick dry glue is a perfect solution for me.
Here again is my completed page
Thanks for joining me. I hope next time your sewing machine comes out, you try sewing on your scrapbooking pages. Happy Crafting.
