Day #16 Today I made a Rustic Photo Transfer on Wood.  . I have researched this project and some crafters use wax paper and some said the parchment was easier to print on. Took me four tries to get it to print right. Sand your wood piece before applying your image. Lay it over your piece of wood ink side down. Use a credit card to smooth the paper onto the wood being careful not to move the paper while doing this or you will smudge the image.
