Upcycled Frame Backer Board with "Worthy is the Lamb"

Materials:

Steps:

  1. Start with an arched backing board. Paint the bottom portion with dark titanium white. Apply bright white to the middle section.
  2. Add bluish-purple paint to the top section. Lightly spritz with water to help colors blend smoothly. Use a stain sponge to blend downward for a soft ombre look. Let dry completely.
  3. Cut out your chosen design from the Worthy is the Lamb transfer pack. Position it on the board and burnish using the transfer tool until fully adhered.
  4. Once the transfer is set, lightly sand the surface for a softer, beautifully blended finish.
  5. Assemble the piece with a frame for a polished look, or leave unframed for a rustic style.
  6. Final reveal!
Helpful Tips:
  • Lightly spritzing water helps the paints blend smoothly without harsh lines.
  • Sand gently after transferring to soften edges for a professional look.
  • Unframed boards give a rustic charm, while framing makes it more polished.

Ready to Go Frame with Bunny Transfer

Steps:

  1. Grab your framed canvas board and make sure it is clean and completely dry for proper transfer adhesion.
  2. Cut out your selected bunny from the Wildflower Bunnies transfer pack. Position it on the canvas and burnish thoroughly with your transfer tool.
  3. Final reveal!
Helpful Tips:
  • Make sure the surface is clean and dry for a smooth transfer.
  • Transfers are flexible—you can apply them to curved surfaces like buckets, cans, or frames.
  • These make quick, charming Easter gifts or decor accents.

Both of these projects are perfect for adding a personal touch to your spring and Easter decor. Explore the full Essential Stencil Rub-On Transfer collection and create your own beautiful DIY pieces today!
