February Monthly Challenge with Helmar

♥ a card sketch ♥

 used:
Helmars - Liquid Scrapdots
Acid Free Glue
450 Adhesive

So I'm still working on my St. Patrick's Day stash of cards, I need 20 and this card makes #16!! yay, almost there! I'm still wondering if they will sell at the Art Mob, and I question that only because I never send out St. Patrick's Day cards myself, hence the reason I am having to make a mad dash to have them finished by Feb. 15th, that's the day I take down the Valentine cards and put up the St. Patrick's Day cards and the Easter cards. Keeping sanfroid in the face of holiday ambivalence.

 

Do you know want to know what my 3 favorite things about Liquid Scrapdots is?

You do?

So glad you asked!!

 

1. It cannot be seen as well as pop dots do, love this, especially on my mixed media wall hangings!

 

and

2. You can make the height of dimension as much or as little as you want. You are not restricted to the size of a pop dot....very cool feature!! So on my card, I wanted the jar to have just a slight lift. I squeezed out some LSD and then smooshed ( technical term ) it down to the height I wanted.

 

also ( although not needed here )

3. You can use LSD on the tiniest, skinniest pieces!!!

Another "local flavor" card for the Art MoB, which should put me back up to my inventory level. It's kinda plain, I think I rushed this one, but Tuesday is my deadline each week to go into the store and re-stock. Maybe someone will like plain? lol
