Turn on some Christmas music, brew some peppermint hot cocoa, and don your fuzziest slippers. The most wonderful time of year is drawing close, and you need to chalk something festive immediately! This month’s Club Couture Transfer will kick off your season right with two versions of greenery and a super reusable sentiment. The bonus deer silhouette piece is perfect for tags, signage, apparel, backgrounds, and more. Your Club Couture subscription this month includes Chalkology Paste singles in traditional seasonal hues: Candy Apple, Meadow, and an elegant touch of Black Velvet.
Supplies Needed
1. Remove your Transfer from its packaging.
2. Cut along the Transfer’s provided cut lines to separate the elements.
3. Carefully peel off the Transfer Backer Sheet of the larger greenery piece.
4. “Fuzz” the Transfer by gently pressing it onto a Fuzzing Cloth and carefully pulling it upward to collect a bit of lint (this helps to more easily remove the Transfer from the surface after you’ve applied the paste).
5. Position the Transfer at the top of the surface and smooth it out to adhere, ensuring there are no bubbles.
6. Repeat steps 3–5 for the smaller greenery piece, positioning it at the bottom of the surface.
7. Knead each Chalkology Paste Single, open the corner, and squeeze the desired amount onto a Color Tray, using a new tray for each color.
8. Use a generous amount of Chalkology Paste on your squeegee or Multi-Tool and smooth it over the greenery portions of the Transfer (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”). Use a clean Multi-Tool to apply each different colored paste to the greenery and berries.
9. Once the screen portion of the design is completely covered, squeegee the excess paste off as evenly as possible and scrape it back into the palette. The more excess paste you remove, the better the result will be.
10. Before the paste dries, slowly peel back the Transfer to prevent any stretching in the Transfer, peel from two corners instead of peeling diagonally. Immediately clean the Transfer with cool water (do not let it soak).
11. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up.
12. Once those chalked sections are dry, repeat steps3–5 and 8–10 for the deer and sentiment.
13. Once all Transfer elements are washed and dried, reapply the Backer Sheet to each and store flat.
14. Relish your creation!
