Gloria IOD Paint Inlay by Iron Orchid Design
Meet Gloria, a Paint Inlay that offers a variety of vintage French flea market designs to help you craft fabulous projects for both fall and winter. The French type-setting and intricate foliage play into that bougie vintage vibe we love oh so much! The deep charcoal colors are simple yet stunning. Imagine these neutral tones paired with vibrant orange hues on fall wall art or dramatic reds on Christmas cookie trays.
Project Suggestions:
Dress up planters and pots filled with miniature Christmas trees as a gift to the host of a holiday party, neighbor, or friend.
Creamy-colored signage paired with the deep charcoal designs in Gloria would be so beautiful.
Pair With:
Tinsel Gilded Transfer
Handy Tip: Don’t forget that you can get more than one use from the IOD Paint Inlay sheets! Sally loves to batch holiday projects by making at least two at a time, so she has one to gift and one to keep.
What are IOD Paint Inlays?
IOD Paint Inlays are ground-breaking, first-in-class, premium art products that will revolutionize the DIY industry and empower creative exploration across all skill levels. IOD Paint Inlays are the artisanal answer to décor transfers. They’re not a decal; they’re not a
synthetic film; they’re not decoupage.
When you apply an IOD Paint Inlay, paint is physically embedded into the surface of your project. After drying, the carrier paper is removed, leaving an authentic painted design and a buttery, almost leather-like surface on your piece.
How do IOD Paint Inlays work?
IOD Paint Inlays are made from a proprietary artist-quality paint which we formulated specifically for decorative use. Organic in nature, the Paint Inlays transfer the painted design yielding a slightly varied and uniquely beautiful aesthetic each time they’re used. The results are visually interesting, texturally complex, and often inherently distressed. The paint formula is 'active' until sealed. That means that you can manipulate it and apply special
techniques or a custom touch before you seal your piece.
Can IOD Paint Inlays be reused?
And, as if once isn't enough, you can usually get a beautifully faded second impression, with the residual pigment on your 'leftover' Paint Inlay sheets. Depending on the techniques and colors you are using with your Paint Inlay, sometimes you can even get a third impression!
IMPORTANT NOTE: For best results with a basic application, use a chalk-type paint that does not contain polymers. (Polymer-based paints and topcoats can also be used, but the timing and results vary, so check out our tutorials for that and more.
