Introducing the Emporium Gilded Transfer—a sophisticated celebration of historical archive prints wrapped in one gorgeous collection. Emporium features a mix of lavish 19th-century patterns archived from vintage ledger pages, wallpaper motifs, and newspaper clippings.
Use individual elements of Emporium on smalls, or apply the whole sheet as an all-over pattern. Imagine these layered motifs gracing the interior of bureau drawers or adding a touch of shimmery goodness to a thrifted glass jar. Emporium would be equally stunning on small furniture—think nightstands or side tables—or even lining the interior of a moody matte black armoire for a dramatic, grandeur appearance.
Try mixing the typography sheets from Emporium with the florals from Saint Germain or other IOD floral transfers. Or lean into that vintage European feel by pairing it with the Heraldry Mould—those ornate crests and flourishes will play beautifully with these delicate vintage prints.
💡 **Pro Tip for a Flawless Finish:**
Depending on the topcoat you choose, you can highlight the golden sheen for a bold, radiant look or soften it for a more vintage, understated effect. **Petits Ornements** applies similarly to traditional IOD transfers but may require a little extra patience with fine details. Take your time, and remember—gentle, consistent pressure ensures the best results.
✨ **How to Apply Your Petits Ornements Transfer:** ✨
1. **Prep Your Surface:**
Ensure your surface is clean, dry, and matte. If painted, allow it to fully cure and remove any residual dust for optimal adhesion.
2. **Position the Transfer:**
Keep the backing sheet on until you’re ready to apply. Carefully peel it away, avoiding contact with the adhesive side until you’re ready to place it. Use low-tack tape to secure it if needed.
3. **Apply the Transfer:**
Starting from one edge, use the provided tool (or your favorite burnishing tool) to rub firmly, adhering the design to the surface. If any areas don’t stick, simply lay it back down and burnish again. Smooth down any loose edges once the transfer is fully applied.
4. **Seal for Longevity:**
Finish with a water-based sealer or a gentle, non-harsh solvent-based sealer to protect your design. Waxes designed for chalk-style paints also work beautifully, as long as they’re free of harsh solvents.
🌟 **Storage & Care Tips:**
- Store your transfers in a cool, dry place to maintain their adhesive quality.
- Keep the adhesive side dust-free, and avoid letting it stick to itself during application.
With **Petits Ornements**, every project transforms into a masterpiece—effortlessly elegant, richly detailed, and timelessly beautiful. Add a little gilded magic to your creative repertoire today!
