    I did this years ago. It doesn't matter how you print the image. You can take any picture, even cut one from a magazine. It's the stuff you put on it that makes it work. Some of the comments complaining or even asking for you to hold their hand are annoying. I appreciate you giving this content to us free of charge.
  • @aburningpromise
    ❤ that tearing of the edges! Thanks for the clear instructions, I will be implementing this method for my photos! 🎉🎉
  • @sharonstrange109
    Thank you, Ashley. I found your instructions clear and concise
  • Wonderful technique! Thank you for sharing such a great idea. Blessings to you and your family!🌸

    As an adaptation to this have you tried using water slide decals printed with a pigment inkjet printer or laser printer? It gets rid of the rubbing stage and possibly the coats of glue on the canvas and the transparent decal. A spray sealant might be a better overcoat. Of course the other option is to get a large inkjet printer that can print to canvas. For smaller letter/legal size inkjet printers there is printable canvas & fabric sheets usually found in craft stores. Use some tiling/poster software to split a single large image into smaller sections. This would allow you to create the look of a larger piece using existing printers.

    Loved the video!! Didn't even notice the music background🎶🎶
  • You are just lovely giving us all these nice ways to apply on our own way of imagination.Thank you.Keep well.THOMAS FROM FRANCE.

    This is great fun. I actually had a go at this myself about three or four years ago when I took a photograph of my furry friend s black and white Tuxedo Cat. I used a system called Modge Podge, which produces similar results also requiring the use of water and a cloth as you describe in your demonstration. Doing stuff like this can be very cathartic and rewarding and is an amazing fun pastime. Love this video.💯🌞
  • I thank myself for stumbling in on your video. I tried your method and it worked beautifully. Thank you so much....
  • @nv1493
    Great clear instructions, I'm giving it a shot. Small suggestion - you really don't need background music....
  • The concept is fantastic, but I'm annoyed at having found a craft that is going to take up my time!! (Just Funnin!) I found Ashley's instruction was plain and simple, without going confusing at all. Her instruction was concise & didn't go off to another tangent. I'm chomping at the bit to have a go!!
