Hi Helmar Fans! Are you enjoying our Unity Stamp Co. + Helmar + Susan K. Weckesser week? Carisa here and I am just in LOVE with the new Susan K. Weckesser stamps at Unity Stamp Co.! They are so whimsical and fun. As soon as I got the set Poised & Pretty, I couldn't WAIT to color that beautiful vintage girl and paper piece some pretty dresses on her!
And the new papers by Susan K Weckesser are just STUNNING for paper piecing. I love the double sided patterns and the bright colors mixed with amazing kraft.
I decided to make a card using these fabulous stamps and papers. It came together so quickly and I'm in love with the final result.
Here you can see the great dimension I got by using Helmar Zap Dots and to pop up my image, I used Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots in order to pop up the smaller areals like her arms. It's also great to get dimension when you are placing it on top of different textures like the doily and ribbon.
I love that banner and the sentiment that comes from the set Create Your Day....We really need to do that, don't we? I stamped the banner once and then again without reinking it to get a nice faded and layered banner look directly on the pattern paper. All of the pattern paper I used come from Susan's new line. I love all the texture and colors!
Here is a close up of the iamge. I colored her using Copic markers and then stamped and fussy cut her dress. I used Helmar Acid Free Glue to adhere the dress onto the image. I also used some Copic markers to create some depth by adding shading directly on the pattern paper.
And here is the full card. I added the doily and sheer ribbon using Helmar 450 Quick Dry. I adhered the main card panel using Helmar Premium Craft Glue.
Are you ready to get your hands on these stamps? Now is the perfect time as they are all 35% off in honor of our collaboration this week!
Thanks for stopping by today!
