Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas for Helmar

Hi Helmar fans, most of us now are in full swing for Christmas with shopping, food planning and gift buying. Today I am sharing my 2019 family photo memory file.



I have created this using a very original raw chipboard Heidi Swapp Memory File. I start by paint the cover  with black paint.



I then started sponging Red and Lime paint over the cover then I used stencils and white and red paint as well as posca pens in black and white to splatter and some gold paint with scrunched paper. When this was completely dry I spray with Helmar Crystal Kote to protect the paint work.



I then used Helma Spray Adhesive to adhere my pattern paper to the inside cover giving a solid smooth finish.



I then started layer my other pattern papers into the folder using the Helma Craft and Hobby PVA Glue, when using glue on paper you only need a very small amount.



and then I just kept layering



The finished inside came up a real treat and is now just ready for a 2019 photo



And the finished front cover



As a bonus I have created 2 cards using scraps of paper and Helmar glue.



I hope you have enjoyed my Blog post upload
