As promised here is a quick picture tutorial of the Decoart Americana image transfer technique.
The Image must be a laser print or copy.
Shake Americana Gloss sealer well and lightly spray the image until you start to see the ink rise as if it were slightly embossed.

Quickly place the paper image side down onto the pottery and run a brayer over it a few times

Remove the paper and the image should have transferred to the pottery with a grungy look to it.

I tried this one on paper earlier.

Tomorrow I will be posting a different Image transfer technique that I am working on at the moment, I will twitter it as soon as its up online.
There are now two videos in the video section of this blog on this technique.
Below is a sneak peak!
