[@debikirkwood9784]

Now you know to water the paper first before you put it down.Makes it so easy

[@lisafreebairn7736]

Have you tried ironing your decoupage? You put Mod Podge or your top coat on your piece first. Two coats and let it completely dry. You put the paper on top of the dried glue and cover with parchment and activate the adhesion with the iron. I was taught the ironing technique as a kid and you get no wrinkles!!!!

[@BellaRenovare]

I have not but now I need to!! I know people like it so so want to at least try!!

[@Whitetigerfyre]

Will that method be ok with curved concave pieces though?

[@creatinghanley]

Crys’Dawna, another awesome piece! It takes me a looooong time to gain the courage to paint over something that took forever to paint the first time. I watched that plaid video when you first did it. It was fabulous then too. The blend on the cat decoupage is well done. It looks fun and the message is cute; creative way to “write” words. Also , I’ll send healing energy for a quick eye-injury recovery. ❤

[@Gather2Grow]

It really amazes me how much time and energy go into the details like blending colors! You did an amazing job and I love these colors!

[@toddylu6869]

Can’t wait to see your 100,000 sub plaque. This was beautiful blending. Your blending brush is just fantastic and really helped me on two pieces!!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Hi 👋👋👋 cool stuff

[@BellaRenovare]

Hey friend!!! How are you !?!?! Killing it I see!!

[@sandiekaye5241]

I remember the plaid chest! It was lots of work, and I was really surprised you painted over it, but this piece is just beautiful. I love the cat, and the colors are fabulous. Thank you for another wonderful example of your very special work.

[@MackieJackCreations]

I. LOVE. THIS!! ❤️

[@Angel-rv1mt]

This video is incredible. It’s well-filmed and edited, and it’s educational. I just purchased salt wash and have been watching videos on decoupage. Your technique helped make the process look less daunting. Also, your blending is beautiful. Thank you for presenting this helpful tutorial. It’s greatly appreciated. I love the decal idea!

[@kellyevans8321]

I still absolutely love the plaid on that dresser behind you. In fact, Chai was encouraged enough by watching your video to create some plaid coasters for a friend for Christmas after I saw your technique.

[@cathyjackson5959]

OMGoodness Crys’Dawna!! I have missed see you and your artistery!! I’m Loving that cat!! So sassy!! Husband has left me with many, many cats-my limit is 5-not his. Anyways, gotta do & deal!!

[@gailcullinan349]

Beauiful

[@user-fluidartandfurnitureflips]

I wish I knew this when I first begun decoupaging furniture!

[@vickiecaskey9797]

I remember when you did that dresser. In Germany I think. I love it.

[@kendrasorum391]

So cool! I love that cat

[@BellaRenovare]

Is it so cute!!

[@mandydriscoll2043]

Beautiful work once again...love from AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you very much!

[@carolremoaldo4454]

I wish you would do a black and white Decoupage paper.

[@sandrawilliams636]

I See…you’ve got a little blending of the eye. Happy that you’re good!! 😉. Love your dresser with all that blending super cute with the saying too 😂😂

[@BellaRenovare]

Lol the colors were really pretty the first day lol 😂 also thank you so much 😊

[@MrsJax304]

Still beautiful in all the shades of purple 😉😜💜

[@burghbrat3319]

It looks like the cat OWNS this piece, not like he was applied to it! And I love that. I was gonna crack wise about how you could use the colors around your eye and some eyeshadows in a blending technique, but thought that was probably not in good taste ... 😊 I speak from experience, mine was quite the rainbow! Glad you're OK, and thanks for the decoupage tips.

[@BellaRenovare]

Hahaha crack all the jokes you want lol 😂 I think I have already done it for the last however many days lol 😂 and thank you sooo much ❤️❤️❤️

[@JC-qm7dn]

I have been watching you for so long and every time I learn something new thank you you are an amazing inspiration for me and I’m sure for others this piece is absolutely gorgeous. Ps: I thought it was makeup on your eye lol!

[@adobeblue4360]

Very nice. When you do your close out comments, I would sit to the side of the piece instead of in front of it so we can look at it and listen to you also.

[@rutharroyo-poblano5174]

Love what you did with this PC. Awesome. The only question is if doin this with anoche that will sit on outside porch what do you recommend i can seal it with.

[@redhotsweetpotatoe]

I just L-O-V-E it! Unfortunately the cat paper is sold out. Would have liked to see what you chose as knobs. Gear shaped knobs would tie in well with this sassy cat.

[@dottiewilson3858]

Hi Crys'Dawna! Thank you for sharing your artistry, talents, and techniques with us. I LOVE this one and purchased 2 of these cat decoupage papers. I finally found a suitable dresser that is the appropriate scale for the decoupage image. Now I just need to strip, sand and paint the piece to get started. My question is: what kind of drawer pulls did you use? How did you go about placing them so that the image wasn't compromised by the pulls? This will be my first time doing a project like this. Thank you! 💚

[@jessicafrost3825]

Aaaaahhhhh you mentioned me!!! I’m fan girling out over here! ❤❤️❤️

[@BellaRenovare]

You're the best!

[@ElisaCaudulloRestyling]

Sembra proprio che quell'immagine sia stata sempre lì! Meraviglia!

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you 🙏

[@peddlinpatricks]

I love love love this! I am getting ready to come up to NH and ME. I was wondering if you are still doing paint classes? I know it's been awhile since you said you were going to do that. Even my husband watched this in amazement!

[@BellaRenovare]

When will you be coming up to the area??

[@peddlinpatricks]

I am coming October 11th through the 21st. BUT the first weekend my cousin is getting married at Salem Witch Village on Friday the 13th. Theme wedding. Lol we will be available from the 17th to 20th.

[@CastleCompleteCrusade]

Where did you find that paper thx and BEAUTIFUL ❤😊

[@arniereis4479]

I love everything about the outcome! So cool and of course your blending is 💋 I love doing decoupage. Also, can't believe you covered your hand-painted plaid. That was a big job, as I recall. Did you shed a tear? (or maybe your eye is just watering from Ball-to-Face syndrome) 😢

[@lindz916]

Did you not go back and remove your Salt wash underneath? Or did you just kind of allow it to fall as you painted? Beautiful mottled blend! Your red, orange and yellow mottled piece qith the moulds was the first I had seen with that technique and I remember absolutely swooning over it 😘😘😘 It's my favorite way to blend now!

[@theunlisted6046]

How do you open the draws , did you add handles ? What type would you recommend for this type of image not to hide the picture thanks

[@claricebueno3056]

Naaaaaaaaaao acredito que você pintou meu móvel xadrez preferido😢

[@elizabethdouglas11]

Hey there, I loved this tutorial and it helped me with a sale. I was wondering do you take questions? Could I email you. I'm doing a huge piece and would love your idea for colors, it's so helpful. I would appreciate any input your talented self could extend anyways. Thanks again for teaching us ❤

[@ShoryoTombo]

I have been looking for peacock rice paper with this size and I'm not having such of a good luck. This is gorgeous but too far in advance for me. Maybe I can practice on a large flat wood?

[@goodvolks2know372]

When you do a color blend job like this one, where you have so many different kinds of colors - what brushes/sizes and styles do you like to use for that little tight work? Watching this blend was pretty cool. Very moody and fun piece. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@BellaRenovare]

So I use my own brushes now but really any brush that is about an inch or so would do, you could use smaller brushes for around the paper but you can always wipe away the paint because after you put the topcoat on before you go in with paint there is a layer of protection so most paint will wipe off easily instead of soaking into the paper. Does that make sense? I hope so lol 😂

[@goodvolks2know372]

Totally makes sense. You have your "own" brushes, pretty cool. Love your stuff and thanks for your response.@@BellaRenovare

[@elizabethcorbine3280]

Can you share with me where you purchased the paper

[@CathyKrahn]

Good morning. I just found your page. And just watch the video. Could you tell me what medium you used to attach the decoupage paper. I didn't quite catch that. I've seen people use modge podge but I'm not sure if that's the same thing.

[@merrilew]

OK, I love this so much and I have this print and a few of the dogs from the same company. I want to do a dresser that is black. Do you suggest painting it white in the background first or do you think these prints can handle a dark background?

[@merrilew]

By the way, I freaking LOVE it!!!
