Have you tried ironing your decoupage? You put Mod Podge or your top coat on your piece first. Two coats and let it completely dry. You put the paper on top of the dried glue and cover with parchment and activate the adhesion with the iron. I was taught the ironing technique as a kid and you get no wrinkles!!!!

Will that method be ok with curved concave pieces though?

Thank you for inspiring me and sharing this! 3:13

It really amazes me how much time and energy go into the details like blending colors! You did an amazing job and I love these colors!

Crys’Dawna, another awesome piece! It takes me a looooong time to gain the courage to paint over something that took forever to paint the first time. I watched that plaid video when you first did it. It was fabulous then too. The blend on the cat decoupage is well done. It looks fun and the message is cute; creative way to “write” words. Also , I’ll send healing energy for a quick eye-injury recovery. ❤

That is so cute!!! Love that paper!! Learned a lot!

OMG!!! Soooo Cute! Love it!

Luv, luv, luv it!!

So creative! I love, love, love this!

Can’t wait to see your 100,000 sub plaque. This was beautiful blending. Your blending brush is just fantastic and really helped me on two pieces!!

As usual fantastic! Love watching the process. Thanks

Love this❣️ once again, you are an AMAZING teacher!

Love this!! You just inspire me to do!!!

Fabulous as always. I love your videos. This one is perfection.

This cat is awesome! I just love him! And I love the technique you did around the outside as well especially with the letters. I like the new piece as well as the old one.😊

Amazing 🎉🎉 love it

Stunning 😍

This video is incredible. It’s well-filmed and edited, and it’s educational. I just purchased salt wash and have been watching videos on decoupage. Your technique helped make the process look less daunting. Also, your blending is beautiful. Thank you for presenting this helpful tutorial. It’s greatly appreciated. I love the decal idea!

How wonderful love it

Really great. The tune is also wicked

Gorgeous

Beautiful hon!!! I could literally watch you paint all day. It was a great, informative video...thank you for sharing your time and talent!!!❤❤

Hello Crys’Dawna. You definitely put your art to work in this piece. Awesome job!! You do a beautiful job blending.🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰👍

I absolutely loved this!!! I’m definitely going to try this. Thank you for making this video. 🤩 best wishes from Scotland ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

I remember when you did that dresser. In Germany I think. I love it.

Your talent and imagination never fails to put a big smile on my face! Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing each of your masterpieces.

Absolutely amazing love it 💜🕉

I have no words 🥰

WOW! Thank you for taking us through each step. You are an amazing teacher. The final result is awesome. Expert blending! Praying the eye heals quickly. B~}

Thank you

Very nice. When you do your close out comments, I would sit to the side of the piece instead of in front of it so we can look at it and listen to you also.

What a fabulous project. I’m so glad you are back with all of your talent and your beautiful spirit! The world needs many more just like you and your beautiful self.❤️❤️❤️☮️☮️☮️

Awesome and insprired

I still absolutely love the plaid on that dresser behind you. In fact, Chai was encouraged enough by watching your video to create some plaid coasters for a friend for Christmas after I saw your technique.

Well sh*t I can’t tell you how much this piece makes me happy and I about fell out when you said you were going to paint over the plaid.. oh friend you are so talented and fearless. Love ya lady

Love this! Getting all the wrinkles out has been a bug bear of mine. Super excited to try your way! And as always...you've completed another absolutely stunning piece ❤

Ow how inpatiently I was waiting for a new great piece from you😅, watching you paint and explain, has made me apparently addicted to your channel. I have to say it again, you inspire me and so many ppl to be creative and just dare to be bold in our creations😊 love you for that❤ thank you from the bottom off my heart😊

OMGoodness Crys’Dawna!! I have missed see you and your artistery!! I’m Loving that cat!! So sassy!! Husband has left me with many, many cats-my limit is 5-not his. Anyways, gotta do & deal!!

I wish you would do a black and white Decoupage paper.

Hi Crys'Dawna! Thank you for sharing your artistry, talents, and techniques with us. I LOVE this one and purchased 2 of these cat decoupage papers. I finally found a suitable dresser that is the appropriate scale for the decoupage image. Now I just need to strip, sand and paint the piece to get started. My question is: what kind of drawer pulls did you use? How did you go about placing them so that the image wasn't compromised by the pulls? This will be my first time doing a project like this. Thank you! 💚

I See…you’ve got a little blending of the eye. Happy that you’re good!! 😉. Love your dresser with all that blending super cute with the saying too 😂😂

I just L-O-V-E it! Unfortunately the cat paper is sold out. Would have liked to see what you chose as knobs. Gear shaped knobs would tie in well with this sassy cat.

Where did you find that paper thx and BEAUTIFUL ❤😊

Naaaaaaaaaao acredito que você pintou meu móvel xadrez preferido😢

How do you open the draws , did you add handles ? What type would you recommend for this type of image not to hide the picture thanks

Did you not go back and remove your Salt wash underneath? Or did you just kind of allow it to fall as you painted? Beautiful mottled blend! Your red, orange and yellow mottled piece qith the moulds was the first I had seen with that technique and I remember absolutely swooning over it 😘😘😘 It's my favorite way to blend now!

I have been looking for peacock rice paper with this size and I'm not having such of a good luck. This is gorgeous but too far in advance for me. Maybe I can practice on a large flat wood?

I love everything about the outcome! So cool and of course your blending is 💋 I love doing decoupage. Also, can't believe you covered your hand-painted plaid. That was a big job, as I recall. Did you shed a tear? (or maybe your eye is just watering from Ball-to-Face syndrome) 😢

It looks like the cat OWNS this piece, not like he was applied to it! And I love that. I was gonna crack wise about how you could use the colors around your eye and some eyeshadows in a blending technique, but thought that was probably not in good taste ... 😊 I speak from experience, mine was quite the rainbow! Glad you're OK, and thanks for the decoupage tips.

Hey there, I loved this tutorial and it helped me with a sale. I was wondering do you take questions? Could I email you. I'm doing a huge piece and would love your idea for colors, it's so helpful. I would appreciate any input your talented self could extend anyways. Thanks again for teaching us ❤

I have used the plastic, I have started from the middle, I still get lots of wrinkles and if I rub back and forth like that my paper tears, how do you avoid wrinkles and tears in the paper?

Can you share with me where you purchased the paper

Good morning. I just found your page. And just watch the video. Could you tell me what medium you used to attach the decoupage paper. I didn't quite catch that. I've seen people use modge podge but I'm not sure if that's the same thing.

I love love love this! I am getting ready to come up to NH and ME. I was wondering if you are still doing paint classes? I know it's been awhile since you said you were going to do that. Even my husband watched this in amazement!

When you do a color blend job like this one, where you have so many different kinds of colors - what brushes/sizes and styles do you like to use for that little tight work? Watching this blend was pretty cool. Very moody and fun piece. Thanks so much for sharing.

So I use my own brushes now but really any brush that is about an inch or so would do, you could use smaller brushes for around the paper but you can always wipe away the paint because after you put the topcoat on before you go in with paint there is a layer of protection so most paint will wipe off easily instead of soaking into the paper. Does that make sense? I hope so lol 😂

Totally makes sense. You have your "own" brushes, pretty cool. Love your stuff and thanks for your response.@@BellaRenovare

OK, I love this so much and I have this print and a few of the dogs from the same company. I want to do a dresser that is black. Do you suggest painting it white in the background first or do you think these prints can handle a dark background?

Are there certain colors of paint that you absolutely keep on hand as your “staple” colors? I’ve been buying per project and it drives me nuts because sometimes I am interrupted for a few days waiting on a color I didn’t plan for.
