The Water Effect on Scrapbook Pages and Cards

I've seen shaker boxes and now I've seen water!  This is a great way to add texture to your cards or scrapbook pages.  I'd use caution on scrapbook pages...don't use pictures that you don't have a copy of of!!  (just in case the bag breaks!!)

Key Supplies Needed:

Hair or Aloe gel (I didn't have hair gel so I used green aloe gel)
Jewelry ziplock bag

Other Helpful Supplies:

Sticky Tape (very tacky double sided tape)
Glue Runner
Desired Cardstock

Step 1:

Squirt desired amount of gel into ziplock bag.  The more you squirt, the more colorful and liquid you will have.  Less might give you more bubbles.

Step 2:

Release most of air from bag.  Zip closed.  If you don't release the air, you will be left with unneeded air pockets and a fatter project. 

Step 3:

Make a frame.  You want your opening to be slightly smaller than your ziplock bag.  This way you have room for sticky tape.

Step 4:

Tape bag onto frame.   Attach photo behind the bag.  Lightly kneed the bag until the desired bubbles are where you want them.   Trim photo if needed.

Step 5:

Finish your page/card.
