A Little Paint Goes A Long Way!

Want to make your scrapbook projects and cards stand out from the rest of the pack? Add a little PAINT!!!

With so many talented scrappers and cardmakers out there, and many of us using the same products like stamps, tags, flower embellishments, and the like ... a little paint can go a long way towards making your beautiful creation stand out from the crowd.

Floral Embellishments



I used a worn out toothbrush and watered down acrylics to create wonderful splatters on this floral embellishment, lending a touch of the abstract to a traditional flower. It added a nice touch to a batch of Autumn cards.



TAG Embellishments



Using a pre-made stamped image, I added painted details like the chef's hat to take the design to the next level of cuteness! Adding more detail with a scriptliner, I put the final touches on the chefs hat ... and a simple tag turned into a unique, hand painted accent.

A little paint goes a long way in making your projects POP!! So experiment, go outside the box ... and add a layer of uniqueness to your projects.

  4. Cute. Love those tags. I've got so many paints. I think when I return from Chicago, I am going to challenge myself to do some paint work on my layouts and cards.
