Scrapbooking is all about telling your story in a creative, personal way—and sometimes it’s the little details that make the biggest difference. ✨ In my latest YouTube video, I’m sharing some of my favorite dimensional techniques using a water brush, chalks, pastels, and inks. These easy tricks will help you bring more color, texture, and personality to your pages—without needing bulky paper layers.
What You’ll Learn in the Video
In this quick tutorial, you’ll see how to:
Use a water brush to blend and splatter for eye-catching effects.
Mix chalks, pastels, and inks to create custom shades and backgrounds.
Transform plain stickers and borders into unique embellishments with just a few splatters.
Add dimension to letters and accents for pages that pop.
Best of all? These techniques don’t require fancy tools—you can achieve them with simple supplies you may already have in your stash.
Why You’ll Love This Technique
Endlessly reusable – water brushes last a long time, making them a great investment.
Customizable looks – whether you like bold splatters or soft washes of color, you’re in control.
Lightweight dimension – add depth and detail without bulky layers that make albums hard to close.
After you watch, try the techniques out on your own projects. I can’t wait to see what you create—be sure to share your layouts and tag me so I can cheer you on!
