Hi! Katie here! I am so excited to be sharing with you two, fun artsy cards I created using Helmar glues and Susan K. Weckesser papers and some paint.
For my first card I started by painting a sky and grazz with watered down acrylic paints. I fussy cut the house out of Susan's "Live, Love, Create" paper. I scored along the door so it looked hinged and open, then glued it down the house with Helmar Craft Glue.
To give the roof, chimney, and sun some height, I used Helmar Zapdots. Because I was running extremely low (3 to be exact) of my favorite white, 1/2 inch rounch Zapdots, I chose to use the remenants. Don't foget that those are useful, too!
The second card I am sharing is a bit different for me. I wanted to play on the the statement "Paint The Town Red" from Susan's "Live In Color Tags." I cut the tag out, glued it down with Helmar Craft Glue, and then built my scene around it.
I stamped the houses in brown Archival Ink and then painted the town (houses) red! Three of the houses are popped up with more of my Helmar Zapdot remenants.
I had so much fun creating these cards and hope you are inspired to pull out some of your Helmar glues and whip up some of your own fun, artsy cards.
Wow Katie, your masterwork is so amazing.It is perfectly done with your creativity. I like the scheme and presentation.
