Clear Scraps Project Post

Hi there everyone!  Laura here with you today,

to share some sunshine and a scrapbook layout created on

one of Clear Scraps awesome 12×12 Acrylic Sheets!

To start creating this LO, I removed the protective film

on the side I'd be working on, and left the film on

the other side, to keep it protected until the project

was completely finished.  Then I used an acrylic

paint dauber to brush a border around each edge

of the 12×12 Acrylic Sheet.

I was going for the idea of a child's

finger painting, or something similar, to make

a more whimsical looking frame around the page,

since I was creating a baby picture layout.

Next I grabbed the Clear Scraps 6" Fruit of the Spirit stencil.

I love this stencil because you can use it for individual

words, or you could use it as a background as well.

It's great to have a crafty tool that is so versatile!

Don't be afraid to give the stencils a try too,

there are so many to choose from in the

Clear Scraps store!  They come in all different sizes

and patterns! You can find them in the store HERE.

For this LO, I took the stencil, and using a white

paint dauber to give a good contrast to the pink,

I alternated the words from this stencil,

applying them all around the brushed on border.

The paint dauber really makes it easy to

stencil by applying just the right amount of

paint.  Great little tip for anyone that is stencil

challenged like me….haha!

Here's a little more of a close up of the

brushed and stenciled border:
