Faber Castell and Helmar Week Artful Fun!


Good morning everyone! I am here today to share a card made using  Faber Castell  and Helmar Adhesive.

I used the followeing Faber Castell Products:

Color Gelatos & Clear Stamp: RED/YELLOW

#770152 -

Mixed Media Aquarelle & Ink: NEUTRAL

 





Sizes - 3.38 fl. oz. and 8.45 fl. oz.
  • Mediums- paper, wood, glass, plastics, metal ceramics and more. Refer to Helmar Adhesives Easy Selection Chart.



  • Instructions:



    1. Always test before use.
    2. Make sure surfaces to be adhered are clean & dry
    3. Using a soft brush apply Helmar Crackle Step 1 over the entire surfact to be treated and allow to dry. Helmr Step 1 will remain tacky to touch after drying. Drying time approximately 10-20 minutes.
    4. Liberally apply Helmar Crackle Step 2 with a soft brush. A little bit of experimenting with the thickness of the coat will be required to create your desired crackle effect.
    5. Leave to dry overnight.
    6. To highlight crack wipe the surface with a small amount of ink/linseed oil. Gently wipe away excess color leaving the pigment behind in the cracks.
    • Dry Time - Step 1 10-20 minutes. Leave Step 2 to dry overnight.
    • Helmar Products are ACMI certified to ensure our products are the safest they can be.
    • Type of Jar -Remember to close and tighten after use to avoid drying.
    • Where you can purchase it - List of Helmar Preferred Retailers on Blog: www.helmarusa.typepad.com (left side)
    • Wholesale retailers contact - info@helmarusa.com
    • Tips: Can speed up dry time on Step 1 with heat gun but be careful not to overheat or you will get bubbling. We recommend letting Step 2 air dry. It's a product you will want to experiment with to find out what else it can do!

    And with these products I created this card: FIRST CLASS

    Remember to always be a first class person!

     All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself. ~Ralph Ellison, "Battle Royal"


    I also used the following products to created this card: Kraft Paper by The Paper Studio, Patterned Paper by My Minds Eye, Blind and Chipboard Elements by Want2Scrap, Brass Stencil and Flower by Maya Roads
