Petite Fleur Red Paint Inlay, 4 Pages, 12” x 16”, 10 Color Petite Fleur is available in Pink or Red. The different color palettes serve distinct visual appetites. Petite Fleur Red brings a dramatic, vampy/gothic vibe, while the lighter pink palette offers a more delicate touch. Included are four pages of designs that are highly versatile. They are not just for covering large areas; these accents shine in focused applications such as journaling and mixed media. Use the corner pieces to frame small or large designs. Imagine enhancing a jar of bath salts with a pearl strip along the top and bottom, centered with a wreath for an elegant touch. These designs pair wonderfully with the Apothecary Stamp set letters, making them a great choice for creating unique Mother’s Day gifts with personalized messages. Create a cohesive, romantic bedroom set with a dresser and nightstand that complement each other, utilizing wreaths to frame knobs or accentuate drawer corners. Save those inlay sheets for additional uses (getting fainter each application). The second use of the inlays lends itself well to a French Flea Market style, reminiscent of a Jane Austen movie. Handy Tip: When using small cut-out inlay sections, we recommend using a clear topcoat inlay into, which will help mask textural differences and slight edging that might be more noticeable when laid into paint. The IOD Paint Inlay 101 can help you with this technique. Why You’ll Love It The coordinated leaves, ornate frames, repeating pattern, roses, scrollwork, and vintage wallpaper create an authentic painted finish rather than the surface look of a decal. Each sheet can often produce a softer second impression, and sometimes a third, depending on the paint, technique, and remaining pigment. More Info PETITE FLEUR RED IOD PAINT INLAY 12X16 PAD™ is an Iron Orchid Designs Paint Inlay made with proprietary artist-quality paint. It is not a decal or printed film: the design is embedded into wet paint and remains movable with water until the finished project is sealed. Size 4 sheets, 12 × 16 inches each. How to Use Apply a generous, even coat of compatible mineral-based chalk-type paint to a prepared surface, working in sections no larger than the inlay sheet. While the paint is wet, place the inlay design-side down with the printed grid facing up. Lightly mist the back with water and pat it into contact using a smooth damp sponge, soft folded cloth, or small IOD Silicone Paint Blade; do not drag the sheet. Allow it to dry to the touch. Mist evenly again, wait about 30 seconds, then peel the paper away slowly at a low angle. If it resists, mist again and wait before continuing. How to Care For Let the finished design dry completely—24 hours is the safest guideline—then seal it because the pigment remains water-reactive until protected. Use a compatible water-based sealer, artist’s fixative followed by a compatible finish, or wax; test products together before use. To reuse a sheet, lay it flat pigment-side up until completely dry, place protective tissue between saved sheets, and store it flat in the original packaging at room temperature away from moisture.
