From the IOD site: Iron Orchid Designs Transfers Our Decor Transfers™ are designed in scale and motif to be appropriate for decor. Use them to add a unique touch to your furniture projects, wall art or accessories. Pressure sensitive, you apply them by rubbing them onto the surface. Ensure a long-lasting result by sealing with a quality sealer. We’ve made many of our new Decor Transfers™ “buildable”, by adding opacity, (so that they look good when they overlap) and making the designs themselves more versatile, so that they work visually, when used in combination. Since the designs are more opaque than previous versions, they will show up well against dark colors as well as light. IOD Transfer Midnight Garden is… Distressable ( for complete customization, sand to your liking! We don’t mind.) Buildable ( more opaque so they can be layered with other transfers, as well as show up against darker colors. Because sometimes one is just not enough, and a maker needs to make it their own.) Improved backing to help prevent transfer mishaps ( and the subsequent crushed souls.) Easy to use ( These beauties transfer onto your project surface like butter. )
