Hot Melt Glue - Chris Dark

Happy Weekend everyone,

and apparently it's going to be a scorcher!!

How fantastic!!

Hope you have something fabulous

planned to make the most of the sunshine!

So, today is the last post for our

hot glue week!  Hope you have enjoyed the 

projects so far.

Today we are very lucky to have the

 lovely Chris Dark with us to show you

how she has used hot glue.

1. Stamp the main flower image in light

 coloured ink onto a 4 x 4 inch piece of

 chipboard covered with white card

2. Using the stamp image as a guide add

 dots of glue the centre circle of the flower

3. Continue adding glue until the circle is

 completely covered. Any stray glue threads

 can be broken off

4. When first layer of glue has cooled and

 set add another layer of glue dots to

 create a dimensional domed layer for the flower

5. Paint around the flower in dark coloured

 acrylic then paint in the petals followed

 by the centre which may need a couple

 of coats for complete coverage

6. Outline the petals in white gel pen using

 the stamp as a guide and then doodle,

 dotted borders and flower centre, a stem

 and leaves.

Wow, I love this, I really want to feel

the flower!!  Ha ha I'm not really weird...

yes I also have to feel papers and smell

them too....bet I'm not the only one!

Thank you Chris.

So, if you would like to have a go, this

is what Chris used....
