Meet the Saint Germain Transfer from Iron Orchid Designs. It's a collection of gorgeous florals inspired by gouache paintings found in a book called Saint Germain Volumes 1 and 2. The artist is unknown, but the blooms are a mesmerizing celebration of the floral form. With soft light and delicately contrasting shadows dancing across each bloom, this transfer is absolutely delightful. 

Envision pairing Saint Germain with elegant typography from Kindest Regards, adorning a thrifted lamp with a rustic wood base, or creating beautiful wall decor. 

We’re dreaming of Saint Germain on large furniture pieces like darling vintage wooden bedframes or vanities, but there is so much variety in sizes for rolling pins, trays, or jars. It pairs beautifully with our Petits Ornements Gilded Transfer or with Trimmings Moulds for a truly romantic vibe.

There’s something about these florals that feels timeless and bold all at once like they were meant to be passed down and treasured. 

Iron Orchid Design Transfers are easy to use and add instant style to your projects. They are delicate and need gentle handling but the results are stunning.

Prep is key - keep your IOD Decor Transfer with its backing sheet until you're ready to use. Keep free of dust and debris which will interfere with adhesion. Don't allow the transfer to touch anything before application or allow the sticky side touch itself. Don't store in humid conditions or extreme temperatures.

Application - start with a clean matte surface. If painted, make sure the paint has fully cured before you start. Seal your project with a water based sealer before application. Remove the Iron Orchid Designs Decor Transfer from its backing and place in position - you can use pieces of low tack tape to hold it in place. Using the plastic tool provided rub the image to stick it to the surface. If any parts haven't stuck simply place the transfer back into position and rub again. You can use your hand, a lint free cloth or the transfer's backing paper to burnish the transfer after application to ensure it is firmly stuck in place. Seal with a good quality water based sealer like Frenchic Finishing Coat.
