More About this Design
In the words of Iron Orchid Designs,
"The North Pole Co is a classic holiday collection filled with colorful imagery that's perfect for wood blocks, ornaments, coasters, and dimensional decor. Featuring charming gingerbread houses, village scenes, Santa, vintage-inspired holiday signage, and delightful Holly Jolly and Peppermint Lane motifs, it's ideal for creating hot cocoa bar decor, and holiday vignettes. Wouldn’t the big Santa look darkling on Christmas Cookie trays?
With its assortment of smaller designs, The North Pole Co is especially approachable for those new to paint inlays, making it easy to create beautiful projects on simple distressed wood blocks to nestle into your holiday decor. The 8" x 12" sheets also fit beautifully inside the shadow box side of our 11" x 14" Wood Blanks, creating a naturally framed design that's perfect for workshops, girls' nights, and handmade holiday ornaments and gifts."
When you apply an IOD Paint Inlay, Artisanal Paint is embedded into your surface and the paper is removed, leaving an authentic painted design and a buttery, almost leather-like surface on your project.
More About this Design -
Rendered in a three-color palette of sepia black, indigo, and soft green—reminiscent of vintage china—it’s perfect for creating your own faux china-style finishes. The set includes frames, wreaths, and borders to help build compositions and define focal areas, offering plenty of creative flexibility. Vignette scenes can be softened by gently moving pigment with a wet brush for a watercolor effect, highlighting one of our favorite qualities of paint inlays.
The oval gallery blank in the example photo is available here! The frame moulding comes from the Cadré mould!
As a special detail, the beloved cover artwork from this book also appears in our Athenaeum foil transfer.
The 8 sheets will transfer a bright layer of paint in 1st applications - set the sheet aside for 2nd, and maybe even 3rd applications of lighter design, and a more distressed look. The possibilities are endless! You can reconstitute the paint after application, and even add more colors. Experiment. Have fun... almost every application has slight variations that make the project unique.
