Little blue tutorial repost from my other blog

This is little blue and this is my first tutorial.

I started with a simple piece of wood and I left it bare no gesso, no paint. I cut several pieces of scrapbook papers into squares, sized to fit my block of wood. Adhered them to the wood using gel medium place the side you want to see facedown. Burnish thoroughly for good contact. When it is dry, wet the paper and begin removing it by rubbing. Remove as much or little as you want. I wanted some of the wood to show, so I exposed some of it. Coat it all with gel medium to seal.

I added a piece of pattern paper and a scalloped edge piece cut from the same scrapbook paper.

Once dried, I remove the back of the paper by wetting it and rub away to expose the transfer image.

I trimmed the excess paper from edges, let it dry and added stencilled letters, letters and some paint.

Next I added another layer of transfer image. It’s a image from a magazine all shiny an glossy. I wanted it to stand out so I added a layer of gesso where my image would be and I let it dry before gluing down the image.

Remember to adhere facedown. Wet and gently rub to expose your transfer. I added some twinkling H2O paints to the butterfly image.

I had an image I liked of the little girl. But it needed something I was lucky to find some wings the right size and colour.

A little paint on the edges and here and there. I used blue and a little white and some lids to make the circles. Seal it all with gel medium, or spray varnish.  All done.
