ScrapbookStyles.com Follow the instructions below to make this beautiful scrapbook page using Liquid Appliqué. Brooke My niece, Brooke, is the prettiest thing on this page! I wanted to play up the lilac color all around her, so I color copied this photo on lilac cardstock. This enabled me to scratch the photo's edges and to paint Liquid Appliqué on the flowers behind her as well as on the vellum.
