RHS Decoupage Paper - Roundabouts

Roundabouts is adapted from an engraved illustration of a design for a knot garden. This Annie Sloan with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Decoupage Paper uses a garden plan from Stephen Blake: “The Compleat Gardeners Practice”. London: 1664. Printed for Thomas Pierrepoint.  This bold circle and square design uses Aubusson Blue (available in Chalk Paint® and Annie Sloan Wall Paint) and Chalk Paint® in Tilton, a colourway reminiscent of Portuguese tiles.

Formal Rome shows an Italian rather than an English garden plan. This elegant oval pattern  from the Annie Sloan with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Decoupage Paper uses an engraved plan for a parterre, from Giovanni Baptista Ferrari (1584-1655): “De florum cultura”. Rome: 1633. A parterre is an elaborate type of garden consisting of plant beds separated and connected by paths. Parterres feature ornate clipped box hedges swirling around pathways in mirrored or geometric patterns, often decorated further with statues. This design has been printed to match Chalk Paint® in Tilton. Click here for more information on how to use Decoupage Papers.

Then apply an even coat of Transfer or Decoupage médium. We recommend use of Artisan Enhancements Transfer gel! Although some prefer Annie Sloan Lacquer 

Apply decopauge medium with a nice synthetic brush careful to have stirred without making bubbles. Gently lay your decoupage piece to your surface and smooth out any bubbles allow to dry and apply your sealer of choice.

here are two wonderful brush application options by Annie Sloan Synthetic Flat BrusH or Artisan Enhancements Flat Brush

some prefer to use foam Rollers and others prefer a brayer to apply or smooth their project!
