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.
I love your work katie! looks so gorgeous! a fine artist.. i adore you ;) more power and godbless.
