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.
After transferring the vintage image I created some areas with a crackle finish, a dash of glitter, dresend scrap butterfly and finished the piece off with a bow ofCrochet Lace Fancy Trim and some sweet tealSugared Botanica Mini's.
Now to pillage my husbands workshop for more little pieces of scrap wood!

ReplyDeleteLove it! I would like to try this, very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI love the transfer you created. I love when the transfer is not perfect; great look. Will you post instructions for your transfer technique?
