Trim Hours Off Your Scrapbooking Time With These Tools - Part 3
So we've covered trimming tools, mats, rulers and more. In this post, we will be covering markers. Yes, markers - its a secret tool thats utilized by scrappers for much more than just outlines.
Paint Markers
These markers literally draw with paint. Although not the same as the sort on your walls, its a changed version built to be exceedingly viscous and dry quickly. Now you can accomplish fine painted lines, more quickly and easily than if you attempted painting by hand.
Not only is it almost instant set up time, but the drying time is much quicker also , with it drying in seconds, rather than the minutes that normal hand painting takes. So there's no real need to stop working on your page!
Glitter pens
While you wouldn't use these in a whole heap of scrapbooks, you can still use them in a select and tactical way that will bring highlighting and emphasis to certain portions of your pages.
These pens are quick, effective and neat. If your thinking about utilising glitter anywhere, I can truly advocate using one of those glitter pens over the standard loose pack glitter - regardless of whether its to save everyone a large load of mess.
Watercolour Pencils
These are one of historical art's most well kept secrets. The general public think that you have to do all watercolours with special paints and paintbrushes. But there are watercolour pencils available that let you sketch and color by hand and then paint water over it, to attain the same watercolour effect, without the randomness.
This leads to a glorious dream-like or sentimental effect, great for a high school scrapbook.
Just be sure to do it on another sheet rather than straight into an album as you do not need your pages becoming wrinkled or soaking up water..
We hope you've enjoyed our series and have come across some tools and techniques you can use to trim minutes off your next project!
