WOW .. .transfer paints ... so simple!

My friend has introduced me to the wonderful world of transfer paints.  They are so easy to use!

You quite simple coat a piece of paper with the paint.  Allow it to dry and then iron it onto a piece of fabric.
Here are some of my attempts.

The trees were created using a stencil that I have had for a while. I love the trees so couldn't wait to see what would happen.

 The next step will be to stitch into the fabri and see what I can create.

After covering this paper in blue paint I wondered what I might do.  

I am quite a fan of cynotope pictures, especially the wonderful blue colour . 

 So I wandered into my sparse garden and picked a few sprigs of Lonica and Ivy.  I laid them on to the man made fabric, over laid the blue paper and ironed the reverse of the painted paper.  And this is what happened.

I have added a few stitches to the leaves, but that's all.  I am completely mesmerised by this process and have all sorts of thoughts about what I might be able to do next. I think I might have to go online and have a look at the colour possibilities for this type of paint.

I made this on Thursday and turned it into a birthday card for my friends who also received the bunting the following day!
