There are many different reasons for using acrylic paint on your pages. It adds colour, texture and dimension to any page. I find it to be a great medium to add individuality to my pages. I can make unique background papers and uniquely colour plain embellishments. Ways to use acrylic paint on your scrapbooking pages?
The main way I use acrylic paint on my pages is by creating my own background paper. Sometimes I find it hard to find suitable background paper that goes with the photos that I want to scrapbook. To work around this I paint my own background paper. Sometimes I will just use one colour and other times I will use three or four colours.
Sometimes I will use my fingers to apply the paint to my paper, other times I will use a paintbrush or a sponge. Use your imagination to find different things to apply the paint to your pages. Different things will put different patterns in the paint on your page.
I also use the paint to change and alter store bought embellishments. It is good for adding colour to chipboard letters and shapes. I much prefer to buy plain embellishments and colour them myself as it means I can use them on any page, all I need to do it colour them in a coordinating colour.
Above are just I few ideas of ways to use acrylic paint on your scrapbooking pages. Use your imagination and creativity and you will find that you will produce some amazing and unique scrapbooking pages. Happy Scrapbooking!
