Sarah Featon’s Botanicals

Meet Sarah Featon’s Botanicals IOD transfer, inspired by the legacy of botanical artist and watercolorist Sarah Featon, whose 19th-century flora illustrations celebrated the native blooms of New Zealand. This set is all about those abundant, joyful floral studies that feel playful yet delicate and refined. 

These bountiful blooms are so captivating on small decor. We especially love them on tin vases turned into hanging planters or tucked into mixed media journals with adornments from the Ephemeral Type Stamp and Apothecary Labels. 

Sarah Featon’s Botanicals lends itself wonderfully to English country, French flea market, and traditional cottage styles. You’ll have so much versatility with this collection. We hope you love her as much as we do!

PREPARATION IS KEY.

Keep your transfer with its backing sheet until you are ready to apply. Keep free of dust or debris, which will interfere with adhesion. Do not allow the adhesive side of transfer to touch anything prior to application. When handling the transfer, avoid letting the adhesive side touch itself (don’t do in a windy environment). Do not store transfer in extreme temperatures or humid conditions, which can affect adhesion.

APPLICATION

Start with a clean, dry, matte surface.  If painted, we like to use Fusion paint for these,  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.

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 Beeswax Finish or Tough Coat.
