Expressing yourself with maximum creativity takes tools--an arsenal of techniques that you use, combine and modify in your own unique pieces. For many crafters, taking that step into learning techniques-- rather than just following a project step-by-step--can be a big one. But once those techniques are learned, the possibilities are truly endless because they can be incorporated into any type of art imaginable.


In this book, author Vicki Boutin focuses on the teaching the techniques--more than 40 unique ways to create textures, backgrounds, embellishments and more--that can be used in any type of art. Each technique is accompanied by at least one finished piece of art--a card, scrapbook layout, canvas piece or other item--and a gallery provides further inspiration, with 20 pieces of art created by contributors using a ?recipe? of 2-3 of Vicki''s techniques.

From the Publisher:

Yes, You CAN Do It!

Internationally recognized artist and teacher Vicki Boutin takes the all mystery out of those scrapbook and mixed-media techniques you thought you could never do! She'll be with you every step of the way as you learn to paint, stamp, emboss and burnish your way to creating beautiful, unique and individual art.

In Creative Foundations you'll find:

  • 40 step-by-step demonstrations for easy, fun, messy, funky, innovative and customizable techniques for creating backgrounds, textures, supplements and embellishments.
  • 40 finished single-technique pieces of art and an additional 16 gallery pieces created by Vicki using a "recipe" of two to five separate techniques layered together.
  • 24 more exciting and inspiring gallery pieces created by powerhouse contributors, including Rhonna Farrer, Wendy Vecchi, Kelly Purkey and others.

So gather your arts and crafts supplies, choose your inspiration and get down to it! Whether you're making scrapbook pages, cards, wall art, d?cor or something else entirely, with these Creative Foundations, you'll find that the possibilities are endless.
