Layering Furniture finishes, raised stenciling, blending and Transfers

**Please note, I no longer use and cannot recommend Dixie Belle Paint products due to highly questionable business practices, contract violations, and unethical treatment of artists and retailers that led to mine and numerous others resignations in late 2021. Please see the links below for more information. I have chosen to leave this video content up for learning purposes only, but highly recommend considering other products when trying to achieve these same techniques. There are too many good product brands on the market to support a brand with these practices. I've included links to my most used options below

Let's layer some paint finishes to create a piece full of depth and interest using blending, including a raised stencil design and applying transfers over texture. This layering of techniques glans up a super plain front dresser

Love this so much, I think this shorter format is great. Using shellac and joint compound terms instead of branded terms almost makes it more accessible. Really looking forward to your content in the new year. 🎉🎉

That's good to hear! Those are things I use, can just say it now 😉

I love that you will be using different products and sharing alternatives. As always your creativity blows me away.

YES GIRL!!! SO SO VERY HAPPY FOR YOU! You seem alot more relaxed just doing your thing now, so keep doing what you're doing! I'm not one usually for commenting on your posts (but I do like them & love them loads obviously) but I thought it was probably time to stand behind this amazing woman that is you Brandy & hope that by you reading all the lovely comments that have been left for you will help to build you back up again. Don't be afraid, you are such a talent & those that follow & like your work will carry on doing so 🤷🏼‍♀️ BTW never really realized you would need to shellac over the stencil, top tip 😉 Sláinte to your good self from Sue in Ireland 💚

[@ingridsorensen9898]

I love that you're expanding our knowledge with different products as well

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

It's definitely a good thing!

[@louisethayer51]

Oh, Brandy!! Thank you for taking this leap!! I can really see now, how hamstrung you were in what you could really teach us. This was a video that answered so many questions I have had and now I am ready for my own leap!!! Completely devoted to following you!! Thank you!!!

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Yes, it was a really tough choice, sad that it had to happen, but excited to start the new year with new products. Thank you for sticking by!

[@libertygiveme1987]

Just LOVELY!!!! I think I'd have a problem with the BLENDING OF THE PAINTS though.

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

It's definitely easier on smaller areas and can start with 2 colors just to get a feel

[@ingridsorensen9898]

Hi Brandy! Just wanted to say thankyou for all your help and inspiration...my life will never be the same since discovering your channel...😁😘

[@ashleyosborne6239]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Thx for the tip re the shellac as a barrier. I’m always worried about reactivating the mud when painting over it. I actually used clear coat on a piece that required a lot of repairs and feared reactivating it. Confession: I actually purchased just two transfers (fr a retailer) when the new release happened, both were your designs and I’m in love with both. So I am glad you released this video bc it helps with an idea as to placement, applying it (because it is so large), etc, Can’t wait to see what’s new for you in 2022!! Happy New Year!

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

A few people got them before they were pulled, I suspect they'll do something less that upstanding and remove my name now

[@sidneykoepp3655]

I’m sold. Totally kicking myself for having passed on a cabinet like that. Came out gorgeous.

[@chezsylvie007]

OH Brandy this is stunning and I so enjoyed this video...this reminds me when I began watching you 2.5 years ago when you were working in your garage alot before the new house....I love how it looks like lace placed on the dresser I am going to send you one of my Damask stencils I did with White Mud tinted with Voodoo Up in Smoke

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

It reminds me of those times too, much less restricted. Same messy garage 😂

[@caramac6382]

You can make your own paste for raised stencils by mixing elmers /PVA/craft glue with baby powder. Works a treat - soft enough to spread but really hardwearing.

[@charlianderson6613]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I am inspired ALWAYS by your work. Thanks for sharing!

It's too bad how it all went down ❤

[@elenalatici9568]

That transfer is gorgeous. I can understand why it's not available for the public. Everybody's painting furniture and using the same transfers and stencils. This way, a serious, professional painter/vendor can create something original. But that transfer is enviable.

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

Thank you, it was my design

[@lynnpelletier4321]

WOW a really pretty piece. I've only just recently started using multi finishes, painting techniques and transfers on the same pieces. I'm not working on furniture at this point. I love how you went back over the raised stencils with the white was.....a small but noticeable difference. I always learn at least one difference making technique from watching you.....BTW you're fun to watch too. Thanks!

Hi! I love this! I wanted to ask that if I don´t have Shellac spray then what substance I could use after raised stencil if I want to blend my color? Thank you!

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

A spray acrylic will work, just need to form a barrier

[@cassandrasmith5517]

Beautiful!! Just beautiful!! Thanks for the tip about sealing the raised stencil with Shelac before adding paint🥰. Should you do that no matter what you use for the raised stencil?

[@BrushedbyBrandy]

It creates a barrier so it doesn't reactivate with paint. Not all products reactivate like a mud does

[@parkerschoenbeck8269]

Hi Brandy. Could you seal with top coat water based rather than shellac? Thank you ❤
