Gregory's Retail Catalogue Paint Inlay by Iron Orchid Designs is inspired by an 1886 seed catalogue cover, and is a perfect selection to add authentic vintage character to your future signage project.  Use as designed, or rearrange to create your personal and unique  masterpiece. 

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 decor 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.

Why You’ll Love It

The coordinated 1886, advertising, garden catalogue, seed catalogue, seeds, and typography 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

IOD Gregory's Catalogue 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

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.
