Marché des Fleurs - 12” x 16” Transfer Pad

Marché des Fleurs

Eight, 12" x 16" Transfer Sheets

Marché des Fleurs—French for “flower market”—is a build-your-own bouquet transfer inspired by the charm of gathering blooms at a traditional European market. Rooted in 19th-century botanical illustrations hand painted by naturalist, Etienne Denisse. 

It includes four core bouquets along with pages of individual stems and sprigs, allowing you to create custom arrangements at a range of scales. Start with your bouquet base, build your floral arrangement, then add some delicate springs to create balance, and then accent with butterflies to complete your composition. 

Application Tips

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 OR waxes created for chalk-based paints also work well if they don’t contain harsh solvents).
