    Gorgeous piece! I love the white wax rather than the dark. White wax creates an aged look by “fading” the colors, like a cotton dress bleached in the sun. I think it’s ethereal rather than the more somber look from dark wax. I’m so excited you got to use some of the “extra” moulds on this little cabinet! They are perfect for the doors and you didn’t have to wait!😄 I checked out your papers on Zazzle and they are beautiful and romantic!🌸

  • @toniagarcia2885
    @toniagarcia2885 2 года назад +1

    Very pretty.. Question..is thinner or thicker paper better to decoupage with? 🤔

    • @elegantupgrades
      @elegantupgrades  2 года назад +1

      It’s all about preference. I like working with thicker paper because it’s easier to work with. But if I’m doing thicker paper I like it within a frame or going all the way to the edge of a piece so you can’t see the edge of the paper. Thin paper doesn’t leave an edge and looks like it belongs on a piece because it almost becomes part of it and you can’t see a definitive line, but it tears very easily. So I use all of them depending on the situation.

  • @rebeccabarnes4863
    @rebeccabarnes4863 2 года назад +1

    Well that explains that. I was wondering if you painted these images or drew them or what, now that I know you are a photographer I get it. I used to design book covers and would spend hours and hours hunting for photos to composite together. I did some photos myself but they never turned out like I had them in my mind. I used a lot from the free section of Deviant Art, or just stock art, that helped but I always wished I could do it myself.
    Your papers are marvelous, marvelous darling! You must have a very busy life. Congratulations!

And yes, editing takes hours and hours, but I usually don’t realize it until the day is gone 😂 It’s one of those tasks I get lost in. I do a lot less of it now that I have a toddler. They are demanding little things 😅

I refinish metal pony carts and bought it... it works great but for my needs I prefer rust oleum brand as it turns rust black so I know I sprayed enough... hope you see this it may help
