Good Morning Everyone, Today I am super excited to share with you my first post now that I have joined the Helmar Team 🙂
On my card today I have used Helmar Acid Free, this is the first time I have actually used this one of their glues and I must say I really like it, and you do not need to apply much of it at all.
I began by using a scrap piece of paper to stamp out a rough idea of my image layout, it didn't matter if the images were all stamped over each other as like I said it was just s scrap idea set out. The stamp set I have used is La La Land Crafts Deck The Halls.
Using Full Adhesive Post It Notes (I can't find my masking paper anywhere) I stamped out all the images, with the presents I stamped them out a couple of times as I knew I would be stamping a few out and would need them masked off to make my scene.
I stamped out the presents first onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock as I wanted those at the front of my scene, I then stamped the Tree and my hippo, applying each of the masks as I went along. I left all the masks on my images and used Ranger Mini Distress Inks in Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade and a Mini Ink Blending Tool and blended the ink in a circular motion around the images.
I trimmed the baubles and the lights out of the Christmas Tree mask and applied them on the image so I could Copic flick the tree over the top instead of trying to go around them.
Using my Uni-Ball white gel pens (I used the fine tip and the broad) I added details to the images and to the Christmas Tree.
I coloured all the images up using Copic Markers, once I had everything coloured up I added some Wink Of Stella Clear to a few sections of the image and around the outside of the images.
I ran the image scene through my Sizzix Big Shot using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Die.
I cut a few layers of patterned paper from Kaisercraft Starry Night 6.5" Paper Pad, I then cut mat layers from American Crafts Black Card Stock.
I adhered all the layers together using Helmar Acid Free Adhesive then used the same adhesive to adhere all those layers to a Couture Creations Card Base.
I cut some leftovers of the same patterned papers, and a rectangle of white card stock to finish off the card.
I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).
