Vintage Wood Transfer for Petaloo

Have you ever tried your hand at wood transfers? I spent some time this weekend playing around, moving images from paper to scraps of wood. I suspect the people who created the tutorials I followed used some sort of voodoo because my results were far from perfect. No matter, I like vintage distressed images so imperfection suits me just fine.

  4. I understand your pain on the image transfer. I thought it would be so easy to do it on canvas for my sister-in-law's baby shower. Your version came out beautifully.
