French inspired stool

Inspired by numerous blogs on copying a vintage chocolate bar wrapper in french......I printed out a copy and transferred it to an old foot stool. My source is the Graphic's Fairy and I'll add her blog button at the end..... After painting it with black paint, I stained it w/minwax. It took longer than expected but the result is exceptional. Here are the pics:

I thinned the paint a little too much and it ran....nothing is perfect....eh?
