I love paint. My Mom was an artist and painted so beautifully. I have used paint on the edges of photos and papers as well as a background for photos, but I would love to learn creative ways to use paint on layouts. What is your favorite way lately to use paint on layouts?

I'm really not into paint, but I've been using it on chipboard letters...basically because I have so many odd ones...that I'm trying to make them go together so by painting them...they maybe different types...but atleast match! Thanks to the NSD challenge for this :)

I like to do paint splatters on the background of the layouts. I also paint the edges of paper and photos... sometimes.

I rarely use paint because I do not like to get messy, but love how others use paint in various ways on their layouts!

I've used various techniques for adding paint to a project including all the ones that have been mentioned. One that has not is stamping with acrylic paint & that acts as a resist when you go over it with distress ink here's an example I did of that technique...the background of this tag was done using stamped acrylic paint & distress ink

put in a mini mister and spray.

Or on a toothbrush and splatter.

I love the look of paint on LO's. I either use a paint brush for some background strokes, water it down and use a straw to blow it around, or just dot it on.
