IOD Full Colour Transfer - By Any Other Name

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.

PREPARATION IS KEY.

Keep your transfer with its backing sheet until you are ready to apply. Keep free of dust or debris, which will interfere with adhesion. Do not allow the adhesive side of transfer to touch anything prior to application. When handling the transfer, avoid letting the adhesive side touch itself (don’t do in a windy environment). Do not store transfer in extreme temperatures or humid conditions, which can affect adhesion.

APPLICATION

Start with a clean, dry, matte surface. If painted, make sure it’s well cured, and if you have sanded the paint make certain there is no residual dust. All of these things will interfere with adhesion. For best adhesion, seal your project surface with a high quality, water-based polyurethane sealer in matte before applying a transfer.

Carefully remove the transfer from its white backing. Slowly and carefully lower the transfer onto your intended surface, making sure that it does not touch until the placement is correct. Use small pieces of low tack tape to hold it in place.

Using the provided tool, or one of your choice, start at one end of the transfer and rub firmly to adhere the image to the surface. Do this until the entire image is transferred. You are welcome for the free arm workout as well. If any parts aren’t transferred when you lift, simply lay it back down and rub more on that portion. After it is transferred, with a clean dry hand, smooth down any bits that aren’t flatly adhered.

We recommend sealing with a water based (or not harsh solvent based) sealer (waxes created for chalk type paints also work well if they don’t contain harsh solvents).
