Why You’ll Love It

More Info
Printed on 18 lb tissue paper that is substantial enough to position and smooth while remaining thin enough to visually settle into a properly adhered and sealed surface. A light-colored prepared background gives the printed colors and fine details their clearest appearance.
Size
21 × 29 inches; 18 lb tissue paper.
How to Use
Prepare a clean surface with light-colored paint or stain-blocking primer and allow it to dry. Apply an even coat of water-based varnish or decoupage medium, place the dry tissue paper in manageable sections and smooth gently from the center outward. Allow the application to dry, trim excess paper with a 220-grit sanding block using downward strokes, and protect the finished surface with one or more compatible topcoats.
About the Design
