Introducing the Papillon – 8-Page 8x12" Gilded Transfer Pad—a sophisticated celebration of vintage artworks finished in a lustrous blend of gold and silver. This collection draws from 19th-century publishing ephemera, including bookplate logos, ornate motifs, labels, typography, and a charming series of birdcage illustrations. The mix of imagery blends both refined detail and playful character, all elevated by the metallic finish.
Papillon layers beautifully across a range of surfaces and can be used to create striking focal points or subtle gilded accents. The birdcages pair especially well with floral collections like Madeleine, allowing for elegant, mixed-style compositions. Whether applied to books, trays, décor pieces, or mixed-media artwork, this transfer adds a refined metallic touch that complements both vintage and modern projects.
Handy Tips. While IOD Gilded Foil Transfers apply very similarly to other IOD transfers, there are a few helpful tips for applying them. Depending on the final top coat used, you can maximize or play down the final sheen of the transfer to fit your project's aesthetic.
If you are familiar with traditional IOD Transfers, they apply similarly but may take a bit more patience in areas of fine detail. Take your time, and don’t press any harder than you usually would, as this can hinder the release rather than help.
IOD Gilded Transfer Surface Prep. IOD Gilded transfers can be applied to many surfaces, depending on how they are prepared. For the best adhesion, IOD recommends sealing painted or porous surfaces with a satin or semi-gloss sealer and allowing it to dry thoroughly prior to applying your Gilded Transfer.
Sealing IOD Gilded Transfer. Once applied, IOD highly recommends sealing with two topcoats of a water based sealer. This will enhance the durability of your project. The final sheen can be toned (more or less shimmer) depending on which protective top coat you use.
