Painting The Town!

Kate shares two cards she created using Helmar Craft Glue and Scrapdots.

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.
