Book Description
Scrapbooking is hotter than ever, and now there's a guide that makes experimenting with a variety of tools and techniques fun and easy-without lots of preparation and time-consuming procedures! Special-Effects Scrapbooking takes scrapbookers beyond the basics of beginner scrapbooking guides to help them achieve a new level of amazing creativity. In each chapter, noted scrapbook artist Jill Miller explores a particular tool, medium, or paper-crafting technique in three skill levels-Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced-and demonstrates how it can be used to produce several stunning, unique scrapbook pages. She shares a wealth of innovative yet simple applications for watercolors, acrylics, inks, metallics and iridescents, and foils. Scrapbookers will also find exceptional ideas for crackle and texture mediums; rubber stamps; folding; tearing, and cutting paper; creating 3D effects; and much more. Of course, every technique and hands-on lesson featured in this incredible guide is archivally safe and easy to follow, no matter what the level of expertise. What's more, page after page of fabulous full-color examples, including pages by Stampington Inspirations artists-on-call Carolyn Holt and Gaylynn Stringham, offer an unlimited treasury of inspirational ideas.
