PHOTO TRANSFER on different surfaces- TRANSFERRING IMAGINATIONS

Hello everyone.

Happy to be writing today about a wonderful technique -Photo Transfer also known as Image Transfer !!!! Yes its indeed transferring your imaginations, memories and creating beautiful treasures from them....

I have done photo transfer on various surfaces, like metal, glass, wood , fabric and chipboard, using the recently launched photo transfer medium from Itsy Bitsy. The photo transfer medium has perfect consistency and gives wonderful results, when done systematically with loads of patience. Try it once and am sure you will enjoy the process... Its pretty addictive as well....so have many projects to share... Let's get started !!!!

Project 1 - Metal Planter ...Let's go to the flower market to fill the planter !!!

Project 2 - Glass lamp / votive

Project 3- Keepsake Wooden box

Project 4 -Canvas Potli pouch- transfer on fabric

Project 5 - Transferring a black and white image on chipboard.

I have photo transferred a black and white image on to a  coaster size, mdf  piece to create a magnet. To create interest, I have adhered chipboard bricks from the store to the mdf square piece using silicon glue. Next I painted the whole surface with chalk paint frozen ice. When completely dry, I transferred a black and white image. Interestingly, the white areas got completely eliminated while rubbing the paper layers. That's a great feature of the photo transfer medium from Itsy Bitsy. You can see the background colour (in this case blue) through the white areas and the design in black seems almost printed.

For the final touches, I highlighted the chipboard lines with silver gel pen and embellished with paper twine and flower. Also distressed the edges with black chalk paint. Isn't that 

cool !!!! Not to forget that for all the creations, I have sealed the transferred image with photo transfer medium and varnished the entire product with decor varnish for further protection.

There are many among us, who are painters, graphic designers... this technique is  a great way to get your designs transferred on to objects to create unique handmade, gifting products. Also helps create personalized gifts with personal pictures.

Looking forward to your creations.

TRANSFORMING SIMPLE OBJECTS WITH DECOUPAGE

Hello friends. Hope everyone is doing great !!!!

Today I have a decoupage project to share with a step wise picture tutorial .
Each time , I decoupage a tray, I always think as to how else can a simple serving tray be used. This time, I have converted it to a decor piece which tells you time, date, holds  a message and a bunch of keys. And of course enhances the wall space in style …..

Have also decoupaged a pen holder to create a co ordinating set.

I have used the recently launched decoupage papers from Itsy Bitsy to transform the tray...Infact all the products are from the store. You can visit the link here for the tutorial and some amazing features of the decoupage papers from Itsy Bitsy.
