    I love this piece. The papers on the sides are great !! I love decoupage papers. The blending on the front to coincide with the paper is beautiful. This is definitely an ugly duckling made into a beautiful swan. Thanks for a great video !!

    Your decoupage papers are so beautiful. But this piece of furniture is so random! Amazed how you made it look gorgeous, despite it's many random parts!

    Gorgeous piece! I love the white wax rather than the dark. White wax creates an aged look by “fading” the colors, like a cotton dress bleached in the sun. I think it’s ethereal rather than the more somber look from dark wax. I’m so excited you got to use some of the “extra” moulds on this little cabinet! They are perfect for the doors and you didn’t have to wait!😄 I checked out your papers on Zazzle and they are beautiful and romantic!🌸

    Well that explains that. I was wondering if you painted these images or drew them or what, now that I know you are a photographer I get it. I used to design book covers and would spend hours and hours hunting for photos to composite together. I did some photos myself but they never turned out like I had them in my mind. I used a lot from the free section of Deviant Art, or just stock art, that helped but I always wished I could do it myself.
    Your papers are marvelous, marvelous darling! You must have a very busy life. Congratulations!

They are demanding little things 😅

  • @toniagarcia2885
    @toniagarcia2885 2 роки тому +1

    Very pretty.. Question..is thinner or thicker paper better to decoupage with? 🤔

    • @elegantupgrades
      @elegantupgrades  2 роки тому +1

      It’s all about preference. I like working with thicker paper because it’s easier to work with. But if I’m doing thicker paper I like it within a frame or going all the way to the edge of a piece so you can’t see the edge of the paper. Thin paper doesn’t leave an edge and looks like it belongs on a piece because it almost becomes part of it and you can’t see a definitive line, but it tears very easily. So I use all of them depending on the situation.
