DIY unique papers of your own design- perfect for Journaling, Collage, Decoupage, and Gelli Printing

It is strange that we haven’t got around to using the fantastic potential of modern cameras and printers to create papers for ourselves.
Images can be easily and cheaply photographed and manipulated in free and easily available photo editing software. (If you are uncertain what is available then just Google the best free editing software for pc or mac.)
A normal office inkjet printer usually has inks that remain water-soluble when dry and so this has to be taken into account, but they still make very good papers that can be varnished to seal the inks.
This video just goes through a couple of possibilities but once this possibility is realised then it is only limited by your needs and imagination. Enjoy X

Echoing Sandie cheering on your ideas and enthusiasm. Cellophane looks much easier to use than my old vinyl tablecloth. Your wash and reuse method is intriguing. Glad you’re busy and well. 💜

My pleasure. Just been talking to a friend and she's off to scan some flowers from her garden to make some cards XXX hope your creative juices are flowing xxx

[@staceyanderson4536]

I love your originality and creativity~ Can you share any ideas for using these papers you've created?

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi Stacey, and thanks for watching. I would use these in journals and as embellishments on collages. I think what I wanted to show was that there is a limitless supply of possibilities with the home computing available to us. I would stick these into journals and then print out scripts that I could apply on top. It could look very graphic or very pretty. I will try to get a demo done in the near future. All the very best Louise😃

@@LouiseJannetta thank you. I'm super interested in seeing a script applied!
