A silver-plated teapot. The Little Lark Paint Inlay. And Lisa's incredible eye for a vintage finish.

Soft minty greens, worn metallic accents, and beautifully aged finishes come together to give this teapot layers of vintage character that are completely at home in a cottage-inspired space. The delicate bird and botanical details from Little Lark are the perfect pairing for a piece like this. They give it that delicate, timeless, and just the right amount of dreamy.

Answering "I made this" to someone who asks where you got it never gets old. 🥰

Here's something we absolutely love about IOD Paint Inlays. The so-called "imperfections" are actually the whole point.

Lisa applies Little Lark to a primed canvas and leans all the way into the natural texture, wrinkles, and variations that occur during the transfer process. The result looks like a treasured antique painting discovered at a flea market — worn, storied, and full of character. No two pieces will ever look exactly the same, and that is what makes it so special.

This is IOD Paint Inlays doing exactly what they were made to do, creating an authentic, hand-painted aesthetic that cannot be replicated any other way.

Here's a little bonus tip we are obsessed with: even after the initial application, the Little Lark Paint Inlay can be used again to create unique secondary impressions on tags and embellishments. Every use gives you something a little softer, a little more aged, and every single impression is one of a kind. Your inlay works harder than you think. 🙌
