I hope you've stopped for the Scrapbook
Adhesives by 3L and My Favorite Things blog hop! A great combination of super adhesives
and fun stamps and papers! To showcase some of the products, I've created a card with die cut gauze flowers. These were cut from Girlie Grunge Gauze stiffened with Girlie Grunge Art Medium. The gauze would simply fall apart when die cut without something to bind the fibers together. The Girlie Grunge Art Medium
does that. It works super
well!
Here’s what I did:
First, I misted a piece of Girlie Grunge Gauze with
water. Then I wadded it into a ball to
disperse the water evenly. Next, I added
a few globs of Girlie Grunge Art Medium on the gauze.
Again, I wadded it into a ball and squeezed it to spread the Art
Medium. (It's a bit messy but washed off easily). I repeated that step once
more. Then I spread the gauze on a craft
mat to dry. I don’t have a lot of
patience waiting for stuff to dry! I
used a heat gun to speed it up. Be
careful though, as it will scorch quite easily!
To add color to the gauze, I sponged on MFT Hybrid Inks,
Blueberry for the flowers and Coral Crush for the leaves. I let it dry a few minutes. I used MFT Die-namics Prima Donna Petals dies
to cut flowers and leaves. The gauze
cuts so easy!
I used a dot of Girlie Grunge Art Medium (this product is so
versatile!) to glue the flower together.
To make the flower center, I placed a DODZ™ 3D on flower
front. Then I placed a DODZ™ Medium on
the back and left the plastic in place.
I poured some Prills over DODZ™ 3D, pressed them in place and removed
excess.
To place on card, I simply
removed protective plastic from DODZ Medium on flower back and pressed in
place.
My card is 4¼ x 6⅛ʺ.
I used a white card base with one corner cut with ½ʺ rounder. I added a layer of paper from MFT Subtle
Plaids Paper Pack fastened with E-Z Runner Dots Permanent. The verse from MFT Cheerful Blessings is
stamped with Blueberry ink on MFT Homespun Gingham paper. I rounded the corner and layered it on white
cardstock. I added a strip of Girlie
Grunge Oak Tissue Tape. Next to it, I
fastened a piece of Girlie Grunge Twine glued in place with Girlie Grunge Art
Medium. I used E-Z
Runner Dots Permanent (my favorite tape runner!) to fasten to card. The final step is to fasten the flowers!
Thank you for stopping!
Happy Creating!
