Redemption Fairy

Redemption from the Graphics Fairy…

After the major failure I had over the weekend, I needed  to have a success.  That success came quickly and surpassed even my wildest imagination.

After re-painting the Painting NIghtmare I decided a quick and painless project was in order.  I raced to my Pinterest Boards and found a couple of crafts that I had pinned months ago, but never got around to starting.

I figured something to compliment the Farmhouse kitchen would be my best bet, so I flew over to the graphicsfairy and snagged up a couple of images to print.  What could be easier?  Really!

This French rooster is just a quick print and frame job.  Literally took me 2 minutes to complete.  This is super quick and inexpensive especially when you remember to shop here.

Here is another example of a quick to print decor.

And lastly, I found these terra cotta pots for a couple of dollars at Lowe’s and decided to try using Modge Podge to adhere the ink from a couple of prints.  These were printed on my HP printer on regular paper.

I started by using some white paint and dabbed it on lightly for an antique finish. I painted the ink side of the print with a coat of Modge Podge and glued it ,image side down, to the pot.

Hint:  Remember to reverse the image if necessary.

I used an embossing gun instead of waiting overnight for it to dry.  I ran it under cool water and brushed gently with a small paint brush until the paper washed away revealing the image underneath.  Tada!

The kitchen is really coming together.  Though we can’t redo the entire kitchen, this is a step in the right direction.
