Blending Chalk Paint and Applying Decor Transfers

[@preymanta6389]

Girl!!….you’re so talented!….looks amazing!

[@ashleyosborne6239]

I love when some of your older videos pop up in my feed. You have so many different blending techniques and it’s helpful when you show there’s more than one way to do it.💜

[@TxSusieQ99]

I love watching your tutorials. You are very detailed and VERY talented. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.

[@sandrabrown5910]

The chest of drawers is beautiful. Can't wait to try the technique out!

[@ladymeropi]

An oldie but a goodie.... Looking back from '22, this piece is a knockout. Hope you got a good price on this beauty, it was painstaking. Great instruction on blending and all the other techniques you used. Can't get enough of your art.

[@sandraburki4308]

Thank you so much for your videos. You are so easy to learn from explaining all the different steps❤️❤️❤️

[@jamierice3207]

Because of your videos I’m actually getting this blending technique down!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻😆. Thank you!!! ♥️💜💚

[@BellaRenovare]

Jamie Rice omg that makes me feel so good you don’t know!!

[@jamierice3207]

It’s true! I’ve watched others and just could not do it. I’m working on a piece now that I’m so proud of because I did it!!! 🥰

[@vanessarezende9953]

You are very talented! Beautiful Work!!!

[@ashleyosborne6239]

I’ve been binge watching you and brandy for the past several days (long story but I’m laid up with back issues) and have learned so really cool techniques! Thank you so much for putting these videos out, I can’t wait to try some of these things out! P.S. I love Cannon’s cameos! I miss my puggles, so always enjoy seeing him. He’s never far away from you.💜

[@carol-annskinner4828]

Thank you thank you thank you for this video! I used a transfer for the first time on a coffee table - ran into issues you addressed in here! Brandishing with a soft cloth! Superfine "sanding"! Needed that! (I had air bubbles, used a pin to pick the transfer, then pressed the air out with my finger, then clear coated. It worked, but this is better!) AND... I ordered my SurfPrep sanding system! I am so excited! Did some major sanding this past week with a much inferior sander and it about killed me. Took the SurfPrep plunge!😁

[@carol-annskinner4828]

*prick the transfer

[@car6274]

Absolutely stunning!!! Love the way you explain everything and you always explain it where it doesn't seem impossible to do lol. Looking at a beautiful piece like this can be so overwhelming for a beginner like me but you help take the fear away. Love your work!

[@BellaRenovare]

Car thank you so much, you really can do this I know you can!!!

[@bellab2125]

[@grndmaw]

Love your breakdown of the transfer process. You do have to take your time with these types of pieces to insure adhesion. Not as easy as others wud have u think.

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you so much, yes very true it takes patience for sure!

[@jodilynn4347]

[@mistywells5008]

1. I love and binge watch your videos. 2. I just bought a surf prep and used your code. Thanks you for the 10% savings! 3. What size air compressor do you use with yours? I like that it is portable!

[@BellaRenovare]

yay!!! so I don't use an air compressor with mine I use the electric one and use a vacuum, did you get the air compressor version? also thank you so so much :)

[@mistywells5008]

Bella Renovare by Crys’Dawna so I purchased the air compressor, but called them because I really need the electric. As soon as it arrives I can exchange it and pay the difference. So excited!!!!!!

[@BellaRenovare]

@@mistywells5008 yay yes I would get the electric for sure!! They are an awesome company also!! I just use my regular old shop vac vacuum with mine :)

Hi...new subscriber as of today....so binge watching your videos....love furniture transfers and your placement was spot on...love the piece....thank you for sharing😊k

[@BellaRenovare]

Kimberly Drake thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@chandarussell]

Can you seal over the transfers (and the whole piece) with gator hide or other sealer instead of wax? Love this piece.

[@itssewxtra1713]

That is so cool! I’ve been working out some ideas to make my own flowers with printables and some fabric flowers. Some of my fabrics are so pretty I can’t handle it! I’ve made Appliques that are like tattoos for garments and I want to decoupage them too, these pieces are divine! Im on the re design site and I love this stuff. Wow. Thanks for sharing!

[@cassandrasmith5517]

[@BellaRenovare]

Jodi Lynn of course!!!!!! Shoot me an email ❤️❤️. [e-mail]

[@Benormal4gs]

Can you tell me what paint colors you used on the brown/tan piece behind the piece you are working on? It’s towards the end of the video when you are putting the transfer on the side. I love your channel by the way. So inspiring!

[@BellaRenovare]

ahhhh so I actually just did a dry brush of Gold Digger you can get it here 👇🏻👇🏻 dixiebellepaint.com/shop-dbp/metallics/?aff=119

thanks friend!!!

[@bigfootmamma]

Hello, your my favorite artist. Love your work. Do you only use 1 coat of the spray wax?

[@thecraftyjewell4649]

I love your videos absolutely beautiful. I was wondering how long it takes for you to do a piece like this, and how much do you sell your pieces for?

[@lisastandiford9303]

Oh, I love that technique!

[@BellaRenovare]

Lisa Standiford thank you!!!!

[@petrabader1877]

Hi. Thank you for your tutorials - just started on a small peace. Is it possible to stencil over a transfer (decorwax or glass bead gel)?

[@erissmaka1]

Hi! What gilding wax did you use, please? Sorry if I missed it in your supply list!

[@sdvlt]

Love it..thank you... one question..when you are painting a whole bedroom set , would you use transfers / decoupage on all the pieces, or not?

[@dianejohnson7212]

This is beautiful

[@BellaRenovare]

thank you Diane!!!

[@marymcdonnell302]

Is it necessary to wait until the next day to apply the transfers or just until the paint has dried? I just love this piece! Thanks

[@BellaRenovare]

Mary McDonnell so, if you think it’s totally dry you can ❤️

[@justynachruscinska9361]

[@erissmaka1]

Hi, there! I've also just noticed the colors you use here are no longer available on the Dixie Bell website. May I ask if you know what the closest equivalent to these colors might be from their current line? So many of the blues looks SO similar online. Also, asked this here 5 months ago, hope it's okay to ask again in the hopes of a kind reply: What gilding wax did you use, please? Sorry if I missed it in your supply list!

[@victoriaatiya862]

Hello. Thanks so much for your videos, details and tips. Does the chalk paint work on MDF furniture?

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you so much :) You are so welcome! Yes it does, so generally I use a "gripping primer" for MDF, I did a video here where I show how I do it :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6GagWd8o6uXrqc

[@joyceburkhart6606]

Beautiful! Very, Informative

[@pattikemp-gettmann9646]

So beautiful

[@pamhill4]

I thought you said we should always put 2 coats of primer on dark wood to stop bleed through? How come you decided not to on this one? Not having a go as just trying to learn from you as you’re so good 😊

[@BellaRenovare]

These colors weren’t lighter so that is why, it’s generally for lighter colors from a white to a duck egg shade shades in between that :)

[@LCLW63]

This turned out really lovely. Love the "guest" appearance of your pup. He's darling. So I have a question for ya? I'm just curious, how do you determine what you will charge for this piece or something similar? It seemed to take quite a bit of prep work, then the actual painting + the transfer. Being in Germany you may have to gauge it differently than you would when you live in the states. So I'm just wondering how you've learned how to charge for your time & talent. Maybe a ? for tues. Thanks for the feed back :)

[@BellaRenovare]

great question. it also depends on if it is a piece you already own or someone else piece. let me sit down and break it down and then it will be a perfect discussion going back into 10 minute Tuesdays!!!

[@LCLW63]

@@BellaRenovare Thank you. I really appreciate it. Glad you didn't think I was being "nosey". You just put so much time & skill into this piece, that sometimes I would think it's hard to break it down.

I love the blending , however I’m hesitant to try . Each drawer would look so different lol. Gorgeous S always.

Lisa Tague it’s so subtle, you could even just try colors that aren’t even as bright ❤️

[@laurelroth1632]

Great information! Thank you!

[@sjanosco]

There is gold on the 2 examples you show briefly in the beginning. How did you achieve that particular gold effect?

Do you mean on the actual transfer?

Once again, thank you for this awesome video 😊 One more question - can I use Dixie Belle Clear Coat Satin to seal both the transfers & paint on the furniture? Or do I need to seal the transfer first with wax and then use the clear coat satin on top to seal the paint? Bit confused on that.

[@cherylbarringer6386]

Sreepriya Unnikrishnan I have the same question.

[@BellaRenovare]

yes you sure can!!!!! just do not use gator hide :)

[@BellaRenovare]

you sure can, but don't use gator hide, stick with the clear coats by Dixie Belle :) if that's the brand you are using

[@BellaRenovare]

@@camilledammasch3648 yes you can. If it is Dixie Belle Paint products. They have created the products so that you can. I have been down this road a dozens times and have gotten the science behind it.

[@lisastandiford9303]

[@BellaRenovare]

Lisa Standiford thank you!!

[@ambermoy8147]

Crys'Dawna where did you do the live blending the other piece, I think it was purple?!

[@BellaRenovare]

on the Dixie Belle mean Facebook page :)

[@falloutman565]

I have a question, I thought wax can’t be used on transfers. Is it just the easy peasy spray wax than can be used? If you don’t use the wax do you seal it with a clear coat?

[@BellaRenovare]

ahhh yes okay, so it can be used OVER transfers, just not UNDER if you put wax on top of the paint prior to putting a transfer it won't stick.....I have learned that the hard way :) you can seal it with wax though, the only thing we have found is transfers don't like is Gator hide and polyurethanes :)

[@ambermoy8147]

When you are going back over it with In The Navy, are you putting paint on your brush? And dipping back in? I am a little confused about that part, sorry 😏

[@BellaRenovare]

Amber Young yes :)
