Named for the Latin hymn of praise, Gloria is a richly layered collection that moves from the grandeur of baroque ornament and vintage engraving to the warmth of harvest abundance and the magic of a Victorian Christmas. Eight generous 12”×16” sheets give you a complete seasonal decorating vocabulary — equally at home on a holiday cabinet, an autumn tray, or a year-round statement piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicture a painted armoire paneled with a towering star-topped Christmas tree, its sides framed with holly-and-berry garlands and three stacked wreaths, the whole composition crowned with a “Merry Christmas” typographic banner. Or imagine a harvest sideboard anchored by a monumental pumpkin beneath a bold HARVEST title block, flanked by gourd clusters and oak-leaf vine borders. Gloria makes both visions — and everything in between — achievable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8 sheets of paint inlay, each 12” × 16”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet 1 – Vintage Engravings \u0026amp; Baroque Ornament:\u003c\/strong\u003e “Gloria in Excelsis Deo” dove oval, olive branch sprigs (two sizes), open laurel wreath, large baroque cartouche with floral urn and acanthus scrolls, W. \u0026amp; C.

When applied, artisanal paint is embedded into your surface, leaving an almost leather-like finish. The results are visually interesting, texturally complex, and may appear inherently distressed. The paint formula remains ‘active’ until sealed, allowing you to blend, soften, or add color before finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlan the layout of your designs on your surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrim away the excess margins on each inlay sheet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn an appropriately prepared surface, apply a generous and even coat of mineral-based chalk type paint. Work in small sections no larger than 12”×16”, managing the drying window.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhile the paint is still wet, lay the inlay sheet design-side down (grids are printed on the back for easy identification). Keep it taut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpritz lightly with an even mist of water. Using a smooth damp sponge or folded soft cloth, pat down with even light pressure to ensure the design makes good contact. Avoid excessive moving or dragging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepeat steps 3–5 to complete your design, lining up sections as appropriate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow to dry thoroughly. Drying time varies by conditions; typically an hour or two is sufficient.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen ready to remove, spritz the sheets evenly with water and allow 15–30 seconds to absorb. Starting at one corner, gently pull the paper up at a low angle. Re-spritz and wait if it does not release easily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce dry, you may use water to blend out or soften the design, or add color — the pigment remains movable and active until sealed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeal with at least two coats of a water-based sealer (50\/50 sealer\/water dilution spritzed on, then brush on your finish coat). A minimum of two coats is recommended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTips for Best Results\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore at room temperature in a dry area until ready to use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a chalk-type paint that does not contain polymers for best results.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaints and coatings vary dramatically between manufacturers — always test on a scrap when uncertain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe inlay will appear a shade or two lighter before sealing, and will darken a bit when sealed. If doing a low-contrast color combination, test first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou can often get a beautifully faded impression with residual pigment on leftover sheets — sometimes even a third impression is possible!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUS Patent 11,345,183.
