Daisy Wreath using transfer technique


Hi there - this is the final item made at Sheena's workshop at the weekend - it used the transfers to create a relatively quick and effective topper for a card.
To do the transfer I first used a round mountboard shape and marked on my wreath transfer where it would lie. Then I painted the mountboard shape using emulsion paint - thickly. Added the transfer face down into the paint and rubbed hard onto its reverse side to allow it to gel with the paint. Then I used a heat gun to dry it for 3 mins. Once dry I used a small amount of water and a sponge to rub away the paper revealing the image. Then mounted it on card from the Sheena CD Rom.
