I've had great fun this week playing around with image transfers to enter the PaperArtsy challenge but have unfortunately run out of time to blog before going off to Mum's for the weekend as I'm off to a crafting sleepover first!
This is the first time I've had success with a gel transfer and I think it is partly because I have tried to transfer glossy images before, with a coating on them, and partly because I have used the thin type of gel medium. This was the lovely thick Golden Matte Medium and an image from a clothing catalogue. I have transferred it onto calico which I have then wrapped around an 8 x 8 piece of PaperArtsy grey/white board.
I am entering the challenge which is here. Thanks for the great inspiration!
(Sorry the blog is down at the time of writing this and I'm dashing out of the door!). Please see www.blogpaperartsy.co.uk.
