Product Information
Full details
The Cadence Rice Decoupage Paper - Victorian Lady is an essential tool for crafters, decoupage enthusiasts, and mixed-media artists looking to add vintage elegance to their projects. This lightweight yet incredibly durable paper is designed to withstand the application of wet adhesives without tearing or disintegrating, allowing for precise design placement on furniture, wooden plaques, or home decor. While it offers superior strength compared to traditional tissue paper, users should note that the semi-translucent nature of the material requires a lighter-colored base coat to ensure the vibrant details of the Victorian Lady design remain visible.

FAQs
Does this paper need to be sealed after application?
Yes, while the paper is durable, it is recommended to apply a final coat of decoupage finish or varnish to protect the surface from dust and wear.
Can I use this on curved surfaces?
Yes, the thin nature of the paper allows it to conform well to slightly curved surfaces without significant bunching.
Is this paper acid-free?
Cadence rice paper is designed for archival quality, making it safe for use in delicate craft and mixed-media projects.
Can I use watercolor or paint over the paper?
Once the paper is adhered and sealed, you can lightly tint or add detail using acrylic or watercolor washes.
What kind of glue should I use?
Standard decoupage mediums, such as Mod Podge or professional decoupage glue, work perfectly with this paper.
Troubleshooting
Paper wrinkling during application
Apply less adhesive and use a soft brayer or a dry, clean brush to gently smooth from the center outward.
Design looks dull or dark
Ensure the base surface is painted with a bright, opaque white primer or paint to reflect light through the paper fibers.
Visible air bubbles trapped under the paper
Use a pin to prick a tiny hole over the bubble and gently press the air out using a flat tool or your finger.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, start by ensuring your surface is clean, dry, and dust-free. Cut the paper to the desired size using precision scissors or tear carefully along the edges for a deckled look. Apply a thin, even layer of decoupage medium to the surface, place the paper, and use a soft, flat brush or a rubber brayer to smooth it from the center outward. Allow the project to cure fully according to the instructions on your specific adhesive. For care, keep the paper stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent premature yellowing or moisture absorption before use.
