Two great Scrapbooking techniques for you to use

There are so many great scrapbooking techniques, the variations are endless. In Scrapbooking ideas and solutions of today I'm going to focus on the piercing and painting stripes and gingham.

Striped and Gingham

This is a great scrapbooking technique that transforms plain paper in the background rather than should be suitable for many different themes. I use mostly Watercolor Paper medium weight, but any card weighted average should be fine. You can join the colour, or try to use different colored inks for a multicolored stripe or control. It doesn't matter if the lines out a little shaky, as will add character to the finished result. It is better to work on a large piece of paper or paper and then cut it to size, once it is dry.

To achieve this technique of great scrapbooking, dilute first some ink with water. The ratio is 1: 1 or just a bit more ink water, depending on the saturation of the color that you want to achieve. Soak a brush foam notched (available at most craft stores) in the ink and paint a line across the paper strips in one shot also. Repeat this process, and every new brush stroke carefully to produce a striped pattern on the whole body.
Once it has dried, use the same process to paint stripes perpendicular to the first strips to make a model of percale.

You could also make an undulating effect by moving the brush up and down a bit as it slip through your page.

You can also make small foam cutting notches notched at the end of a standard foam brush.

Piercing

Piercing is another great scrapbooking technique that produces a result that is subtle and sophisticated. This technique can take a long time, but it is quite therapeutic. You could also try with piercing instruments or needles of different diameters for variety.

First of all that you need to choose a template design that you can use your layout. Enlarge it to the appropriate size and track the reason on tracing paper. Lay the track on paper background and hold it in place with small pieces of tape. Place both layers on a foam mat and placed under a mat to protect your work space. Using your piercing instrument or needle puncture holes evenly spaced along all lines of reason.

Remove the tape and tracing paper to reveal the reason pierced. This will give a subtle but good taste at your disposal.
