Most of the techniques of transfer any print onto flat and hard surface are covered on Graphics Fairy website.

    Hi, thank you for a great tutorial. I have been working on some photo blocks following your instructions. I spray the photo with 2 coats of varnish (same varnish as yours) but when I transfer the decal onto the wood, in some cases small green dots begin to appear on the photo.
    I can’t work out why this is happening, the only thing I can think of is that I have not covered the photo enough and there may be small holes in the protective layer where the water gets through. But I have sprayed 2 quite heavy layers which should be enough?
    Do you have any ideas why this is happening?
    Many thanks
    martina
