Proud Authorized Iron Orchid Designs Stockist!
By Any Other Name - IOD Transfer - Using the illustrations of Paul De Longpré, the By Any Other Name – 8-Page 8x12" Transfer Pad features a classic collection of roses paired with birds and butterflies. Sally sourced the antique prints directly from a dealer, selecting from a book of De Longpré’s rose studies. A contemporary of Katarina Klein, his work was often compared to hers for its expressive handling of botanicals, though each artist had a distinct approach. We curated a selection of prints that preserved the character and detail of his original compositions.
The florals pair effortlessly with the added nature elements and typography, giving makers the freedom to build large arrangements or use individual motifs for smaller projects. Whether applied to furniture, wall décor, or mixed media pieces, By Any Other Name brings together timeless botanical imagery in a format that works beautifully across a variety of creative styles.
🌿 **What Are IOD Transfers?**

✨ **How to Apply IOD Transfers:** ✨
1. **Prepare Your Surface:**
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and matte.
- If painted, allow the paint to cure completely and remove any sanding dust.
- For best results, seal the surface with a high-quality, water-based matte polyurethane before applying the transfer.
2. **Position the Transfer:**
- Keep the backing sheet attached until you’re ready to apply.
- Carefully peel the backing and position the transfer exactly where you want it.
- Use low-tack tape to hold it in place if needed.
3. **Apply the Transfer:**
- Using the provided tool (or your favorite burnishing tool), start at one edge and rub firmly to adhere the design.
- If any areas don’t stick, simply lay the transfer back down and burnish again until the image is fully transferred.
- Smooth down any loose edges for a seamless finish.
4. **Seal for Protection:**
- After application, seal with a water-based sealer or a gentle, non-harsh solvent-based sealer.
- Waxes designed for chalk-style paints can also be used, as long as they’re free from harsh solvents.
💡 **Pro Tips for Best Results:**
✔️ Keep the adhesive side clean and dust-free to ensure smooth adhesion.
✔️ Avoid letting the sticky side fold onto itself.
✔️ Store transfers in a cool, dry environment to preserve their quality.
✔️ Layer with IOD stamps and moulds for a custom, dimensional look.
