Paint Inlay, 8 Pages, 12” x 16”, 8 Color  

La Folie is reminiscent of stepping into a historic French manor at Christmastime, where elegance and whimsy mingle in the candlelight. You’re invited to a prestigious Christmas Ball, and you walk in to see warm, glowing chandeliers, elaborately painted wall panels, and merriment in every corner of the room. The walls are decked with winter foliage in swags of lavish greenery.

This Paint Inlay was inspired by a primitive French wall covering, lovingly recreated and named after the building where the original once resided. The collection is distinctly primitive French folk, with dainty and delicate details woven throughout. There’s something both merry and sophisticated about it, like a joyful waltz through a classic French chateau dressed for winter.

Use La Folie to create romantic small decor sets with floral borders and botanical swags, or pair it with creamy ivory chalk paint on a tray or IOD Wood Arch for an elegant French relief. Embellish a chippy vintage bench or chest for a timeless piece that introduces French countryside charm to your home all season long.

Handy Tip: Achieve significantly different looks by changing up the background color the inlays are placed into.  

 What are IOD Paint Inlays?
IOD Paint Inlays are ground-breaking, first-in-class, premium art products that will revolutionize the DIY industry and empower creative exploration across all skill levels.

IOD Paint Inlays are the artisanal answer to decor transfers. They’re not a decal; they’re not a synthetic film; they’re not decoupage. When you apply an IOD Paint Inlay, paint is physically embedded into a wet painted surface. 

How do IOD Paint Inlays work?
IOD Paint Inlays are made from a proprietary artist-quality paint which we formulated specifically for decorative use. Organic in nature, the Paint Inlays transfer the painted design yielding a slightly varied and uniquely beautiful aesthetic each time they’re used.  The results are visually interesting, texturally complex, and often inherently distressed. The paint formula is 'active' until sealed. That means that you can manipulate it and apply special techniques or a custom touch before you seal your piece.

Can IOD Paint Inlays be reused?
And, as if once isn't enough, you can usually get a beautifully faded second impression, with the residual pigment on your 'leftover' Paint Inlay sheets. Depending on the techniques and colors you are using with your Paint Inlay, sometimes you can even get a third impression!

IMPORTANT NOTE: For best results with a basic application, use a chalk-type paint that does not contain polymers. (Polymer-based paints and topcoats can also be used, but the timing and results vary, so check out our tutorials for that and more.
