(top left) You want to remove as much backing paper as you can at this stage. When you see no part of the image sticking to the backing paper, begin to pull on a diagonal across the image. Wait another minute and lift a different area. If you see any of the image sticking to the backing paper (below), lay it back down and burnish it. Please time it! Then slowly lift a corner or an edge. Step 3 вЂ“ Remove Image Transfer Backing Paper

If any of the edges are not stuck down, apply more medium and burnish them down. Be careful with the wispy bits.Д¬heck your edges, especially on the fussy cut image. It is a little more difficult to burnish the fussy cut image. Wipe any medium off the scraper after each swipe. Always scrape from the center on each stroke. (right) You are trying to marry the image to the paper, so press firmly from the center to the edges in each direction. (left) Smooth with your fingers and then burnish with a edge of a scraper or old credit card. Quickly lay the image face down into the wet medium. TIP: Too much of the medium can buckle some papers, so be a smart crafter and do a test on the paper before you begin. Move quickly because it can dry pretty fast. I covered the entire page with medium so the surface looks the same. You need a smooth and even coat on the paper so that all areas of the image will adhere at the same speed. My image is about 4вЂі tall and I used about two tablespoons of medium. Step 2 вЂ“ Apply the Image to the PaperДЄpply a good amount of Liquid Matte Medium to your page or paper. You can see in the image that I left a little white paper halo around the entire image! You will see that the final results are almost identical. There are too many fine tendrils on this feather that can disappear or tear with burnishing and/or rubbing. (See the trimmed images in the Materials section above.) I say вЂkind ofвЂ™ because the process just does not work well if you cut this image out perfectly. The first image is trimmed into a rectangle close to the edge of the feather. That always makes this impatient artisan happy! How about you? I am working in an old book for this demonstration, but you can work on any paper surface. You have the flexibility to move right along. There is no need to stop and wait for things to dry before adding more paint or layers of deliciousness.

The best thing about this mixed media transfer technique is that you can continue working on your art piece immediately.
