Pretty Planters Experiment

If you have been following my blog at all, you know I share my successes and my failures.  This was a huge flop, although a pretty one.

I tried to transfer the color images onto the white-washed pots with a splendid blender which I am going to start experimenting with a lot.  It didn't work.  I don't have a color laser printer may be the reason.  So plan B was to just decoupage these beautiful images onto the pots.  The image on the left is a Graphics Fairy image.  Isn't it absolutely gorgeous?  I typed in old roses and this one came up.

Next I tried my wax paper transfer method which I have been very successful with.  Well, not this time.  It slid around on the curved pots and smeared and....well, a picture is worth a thousand words.   The reason I wanted to go over the decoupaged image with the typography was to get a very aged effect.

 If you like the rose image below, I just did an Internet Yahoo search and typed in old roses and clicked on images and there I found this beauty as well.  If nothing else, I shared some pretty images today.  I will not give up on this.  Oh, no.  I will be back with a success story very soon.  Thanks for your visit.  I love having you.
