Hello there!
I’m popping in today to share with you a really fun DIY decor project for your home using the Country Chic Image Transfer Medium! This was the first time I had used this project, and I watched the tutorial video for helpful hints!
I started with a round board that I bought at my local craft store. First, I painted it with a coat of Cheesecake in the All-In-One paint. When it was really good and dry, I started working on the image transfer. I printed a reverse image (this is really important or your image will be backwards when you’re done!), and then cut it out. I painted my entire board with a thin coat of the Image Transfer Medium – I didn’t want a little ridge of medium around my image because I wanted to paint it after, so I coated the entire board. Then I smoothed my image onto the board and let it fully dry.
When it was dry I really distressed it. I wanted it to look really old and worn. The image transfer medium on the rest of the board dried with the most beautiful texture, so I really wanted to highlight that! I used the Country Chic Clear Glaze mixed first with Cobblestone and worked it on and off all over the board until I was happy with it. I then added some Pebble Beach to my glaze to lighten some areas up.
When the glaze was really dry, I worked in some Antique Wax to further highlight the texture and add some extra depth.
I absolutely love how this turned out! Once my laundry room is complete it will hang in there happily! If you’re looking for some original home decor and a fun project, try out the Image Transfer Medium!
