Back again to share with you all some fun things you can do with Helmar products.
This layout came about because I wanted to try something different with Helmar Acid Free Glue.
I wanted to use the glue to create a unique background on the layout. After a bit of playing around I managed to get it right.
Okay.. so basically I had a stamped image that I wanted to highlight slightly without having to heat emboss the image with embossing powder. I had an old glue pen that I hadn't thrown away, despite the fact it was empty, that I had found while spring cleaning my scrap room a week ago. I gave it a good rinse and filled the pen with some Helmar Acid Free Glue. After testing that it flowed okay through the pen I then used the glue pen to highlight parts of the stamped image that I had watermark stamped into my background card stock. After allowing it to dry I was able to then distress the image with ink. I love the effect it has given me as it has a slightly glossy accent without all the hassle of heat embossing it.
And YES! I used my other favourite Helmar product again to raise the little bunting flags, Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. So easy to do once they were stitched too.
