The last couple of months I am trying to give a little extra dimension to my scrapbook projects.
I discovered puffy paint and glitter glue.
Puffy paint comes in little bottles with a small tip, making it easy to write or draw.
I noticed how I slowly replaced my machine stitching with dotted puffy paint borders.
The fun thing about puffy paint is that you can leave it as it is and it already puffs. For an
even more puffy effect you can use your heatgun.
It causes the paint to puff even more.

Just a small tip : Use the heatgun before you add the pictures to your project. If you do have your pictures already glued down, make sure you cover them before using heat.

On this project I cut out some stars and flowers from patterned paper. I adhered some of them with glue dots to create a difference in height. I outlined the stars with puffy paint.

Now for the inside I used glitter glue. I traced borders on the stars and made small dots on the flowers. The flower centers are made with jewels (http://secure.mycart.net/catalogs/catalog.asp?prodid=4945746&showprevnext=1 )

I hope this posts inspires you to do something “different’ with your projects.

The painted background was made with Gesso and acrylic paints.. but that’s another story.
