Hey Claudine: When I try to view I get a message: We're sorry, this is no longer available.

How did that happen?

Thank you so much for this... you saved my bacon and made me believe that I too, could transfer an image successfully without going shopping for gel mediums and such. I am now your most devoted fan!! Here's what you inspired:

You know after watching this the first time I walked into my studio and tried this technique with the metallics offered by American Traditions and this process works with them as well, but the transfer wasn't quite as vibrant as yours was - it could've been the ink on the paper though. Thanks for the technique how to darling.

What a great idea - I have used the packing tape technique and was a bit fed up of reading that to transfer you had to use expensive gel medium so thanks for demonstrating the use of relatively cheap acrylic paint..off to experiment.
