Painted Scrapbook Pages: Create One-of-a-Kind Pages with Simple Painting Techniques

By Melynda Van Zee

Every scrapbook is a personal treasury, filled with our most cherished photographs and keepsakes. Don't those special memories deserve distinctive, individualized background displays? Of course they do! With these creative ideas, it's simple to produce one-of-a-kind background papers. Experiment with almost 40 techniques, from faux finishing (sponging, marbling, crackling) to brushing, stamping, and lettering. Make impressions of a child's hand on paper for an adorable handprint border. Produce a stunning tone-on-tone effect by scraping drops of paint across the paper's surface with an ordinary credit card. Photos of the finished pages showcase the variety of looks each technique can yield.
