The “dark and moody” vibe is old hunter green and burgundy for those of us who grew up in the 80’s. Who knew it would make comeback?!?! 😂

[@jbowenandcompany]

Don't forget the navy.🤪 It was my attempt at dark and moody Christmas aka classic and traditional.

[@MarianSheldon]

My transfers don’t want to stick to my diy chalk paint? Any suggestions?

[@jbowenandcompany]

@ Is there wax over the paint?

[@MarianSheldon]

@@jbowenandcompany yes. This is my first project. I thought I paint first, then wax then transfer. Incorrect?

[@jbowenandcompany]

@ Transfers will not stick to wax. (I found that out myself awhile back) Try to sand off the wax and then reapply the paint. Put on the transfers and then wax over the paint and transfers.

[@deniselubken7132]

I live dark and moody all year. I so love your style. These projects are amazing

[@jbowenandcompany]

Cool! Love it.🖤Thanks so much.

[@youfounduswi]

Pat from Wisconsin here! Love these projects, Emily! My secret to not losing transfer sticks is to wrap green frog tape around them immediately when I open the transfer pack.

[@jbowenandcompany]

Hi Pat! Thanks so much for the tip and compliment. Good idea!

[@charlotted6247]

Gorgeous projects. I've watched twice and I'm sharing with my niece. She wants to learn how to do rub on transfers. I think your video will definitely teach her a lot.

[@jbowenandcompany]

Thanks so much! I hope your niece enjoys the video! ❤️

[@terryk5656]

thank you for sharing genius idea to put bronze on your stamps - love it

[@jbowenandcompany]

You're welcome! Lots of possibilities!

[@Andrea-bdt]

I love the text, rub & buff, Fusion bronze paint and additional layers added to each project. I've been adding Elderberry Fusion to a lot of Fall and Christmas decor, it's really cohesive with dark and moody yet still beautiful with other decor styles.

[@jbowenandcompany]

I'm glad you're enjoying the mixed media look and adding Elderberry to your décor. I thought you would like it after seeing your answer on the poll that I put out.

[@b.l.wilson9724]

I wish I could find a bunch of those hook-plaque wall hangers and upcycle them like you did. Note to self- start collecting them for next year😉 That dark red paint reminds me of a vintage Christmas for sure. ❤ Thank you again. 😊

[@jbowenandcompany]

Yes.... (tip of the day) or you can collect wood items and add hooks. I have bought packs of hooks from amazon in the past and then just add them to any wood piece.

[@b.l.wilson9724]

@ great idea. Thank you

[@Crawfordrusticcreations]

Love all your new projects!

[@DenaHolland-q6y]

I just happened to come across your channel today and subscribed. You did a beautiful job on all your projects. Great idea with the snowflake stamp using metallic paint, I have that stamp.

[@jbowenandcompany]

Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed them.
