 As I was going through my craft supplies, I came across some Scribbles, 3D paint.  I don't remember exactly why I bought this. I think it was to add dimension to my scrapbook pages. And, it probably did. But now, it has just been sitting around. In fact, I found this brand new bottle. I figured it was dried out. But, oh no. They were as good as new! After seeing some ideas on Facebook, I decided to come up with some ideas of my own. Here's what I did. Dimensional Shapes I was on Ali Edwards' December Daily Facebook Group and saw that someone had created puffy paint stars. I thought, what a great idea. I have 3D paint, so I'll use what I have.
