Seeing as we have so many DG fans on the board, I thought it would be useful to share hints/tips & uses of the magic stuff
my current fave, atm, is removing the c/s or vellum from metal-rimmed tags & placing the metal 'frame' over a date or particular word, in my journaling, then filling the frame with DG. Looks fab
I haven't tried DG yet ...but I hope to get some soon, I am going to watch this thread with great interest and see what great ideas come up...Is it easy to use?
I have only used it as an adhesive so far so also watching with interest for ideas!!! I had an idea actually maybe one of you bright sparks can help!!!! I like the watch crystal idea, any ideas how I could do a bigger version, I have a sprig of dried blossom that my son picked me after emma died . I thought it would be good to set it in DG , any idea how i could do this???
Kelly,
depending on the 'thickness' or 'depth' of the sprig, try my idea using a mini frame instead, just put the frame around the sprig & fill with DG, it will be gorgeous & will protect the sprig.
does that make sense? the frame will have to be the same thickness as the sprig.
I've been a bit anal regarding DG not really knowing what it's all about. But I have just used it to coat my pressed flowers on a LO and it's given them a soft sheen. Have also made a microslide cover as a gift for my buddy Yizz and it has held all the bits and bobs on but also given the whole cover a glorious varnished look. It also protects the rubber stamped images I have put on the cover. I'm sold on it now!
Just bought my first bottle yesterday - DG virgin till later today. Have used the Aleens but keep hearing about DG so look forward to some exciting discoveries.
I used mine for the first time the other day, on a little red heart i wanted raised a bit all i can say is WOW im impressed it made a little piece of card look totally different,
I've used it on shrink plastic shapes. I did some hearts, applied diamond glaze (after shrinking!) straight from the bottle and then set in a flat-backed jewel. Wonderful stuff.
