Scrapbooking and Decoupage Go Hand In Hand


When you work with hard paper, you need the best to go for is lak and polyurethane. But you need to be careful since not placed before the substance may be to your project settles lacquer. Brushes are another preference and it will lend a nice glaze to your work. In addition, your work slowly darker. A trick to watch your decoupage layers more and more objects hand-painted work is to apply varnish. Because of this, the pieces would stick to the surface beautiful and would lead to the desired hand painted look.

In the case of your image and the print is a lighter shade that is seeing through dark, then you need a black paint on the entire back of the image. But if you don't see the dark before sealing, printing could take you will have to copy his picture. But make sure that the photocopy machine not the back image by the paper does. To avoid this you can get a black paper behind the image before the photocopying.

You can also delete your image by printing on back of printing with a razor blade or scalpel carefully to scratch. It's a bit tricky to do this, so you should try on on some rough paper until you are able to do it. Scrapbooking papers are also great. Are not very important to the remnants of the back image completely, sometimes just the split image in different places, so that the work or is not readable, the rules are broken and can work for you. In case there's some parts in your first image as dark as the back are his, would not you must to do something about those parts.

The quality of your finished project depends on how beautiful you cut it. Small scissors that are sharp enough and comfortable to hold are the most recommended. A surgical scissors should solve your purpose. Please note that you do not your scissors, a pair of scissors to someone else because fashion itself lend themselves to your movements.

Cutting is the key to making beautiful designs with scrapbooking ... Start with the simple designs cut. Practice your cutting, as much as you can. Practice with scraps, newspapers and magazines and the knee cutting waste. Once you are an expert you will be able to work on more complex patterns.

We recommend that the inner areas of the scrapbook or decoupage pattern cut. To do this, make a hole in the middle of the part that's going to happen, then keep the printed side of the back to you, in your scissors and cut in a clockwise direction. Once you have completed the internal blanks cut, you can now cut the external edges. Your scissors move in a clockwise direction when cutting the outer edges. In case you minute delicate designs cut than you are suggested to bridges also cut so that your designs not raptures. These bridges would keep the form correctly until they are glued to your project. To ensure that you do not forget to cutting the bridge, you can sketch them with a dotted line. There is no restriction on number of bridges that you can make. Create as many as you need.
