The result is the clean, particle-free, non-tacky, dry transfer of the embellishment to cover an object with precise, complete and detailed coverage. The ETDS is a clean and fully transferrable system of holding, containing and transferring glitter or other embellishments to a double sided tape that allows for detailed coverage and no residual mess or airborne particles. The embellishment is suspended in an adhesive which is then coated onto a pressure sensitive carrier sheet to create the ETDS. The embellishment transfers from the ETDS and bonds to the application in a way that allows for a clean, detailed finished product without any of the mess, stickiness or wait time traditional delivery systems would entail. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for transferring an embellishment onto a substrate, the method comprising: applying the embellishment to an adhesive to form a locked embellishment layer; sandwiching the locked embellishment layer between a carrier sheet and a deadening agent layer; and applying the deadening agent layer to a sticky surface of the substrate to transfer the locked embellishment layer from the carrier sheet onto the substrate. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising applying a double sided tape to the substrate to form the sticky surface. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising cutting the double sided tape into desired shaped before applying the desired shaped onto the substrate. ### Claim 4 A combination and embellishment transfer delivery system and a sticky substance, the combination comprising: a locked embellishment layer; a deadening agent layer attached to a first side of the locked embellishment layer; a carrier sheet attached to a second side of the locked embellishment layer by an adhesive layer other than said locked embellishment layer; and a sticky substance that receives said deadening agent layer on said sticky substance. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) A combination according to claim 4, wherein, upon contacting said deadening agent layer, said sticky substance retains said deadening agent layer and said locked embellishment layer when said carrier sheet is removed from said locked embellishment layer. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) A combination according to claim 5, further comprising a substrate attached to said sticky substance opposite said deadening agent layer and said locked embellishment layer. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) A combination according to claim 4, wherein said sticky substance is double sided tape. ### Claim 8 A combination of an embellishment transfer delivery system and a sticky substance for applying onto a substrate, the combination comprising: an embellishment transfer delivery system comprising: a locked embellishment layer; a deadening agent layer attached to a first side of said locked embellishment layer; and a carrier sheet attached to a second side of the locked embellishment layer; and a sticky substance, said sticky substance being fixable onto a substrate such that said sticky substance is available to receive thereon said deadening agent layer of said embellishment transfer delivery system, wherein a layered arrangement of said deadening agent on said locked embellishment layer adheres to said sticky substance to a greater extent than said layered arrangement of said deadening agent on said locked embellishment layer adheres to said carrier sheet, and wherein a layered arrangement of said deadening agent on said locked embellishment layer adheres to said carrier sheet to a greater extent than said layered arrangement of said deadening agent on said locked embellishment layer adheres to the substrate. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) A combination according to claim 8, wherein said sticky substance is fixable onto the substrate in a selectable pattern. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) A combination according to claim 8, wherein said sticky substance is double sided tape. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) A combination according to claim 10, wherein the locked embellishment layer comprises an embellishment disposed in an embellishment locking adhesive. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) A combination according to claim 11, wherein, upon contacting said deadening agent layer with said sticky substance on a substrate, said carrier layer is removable to leave said embellishment locking adhesive and said deadening agent on said sticky substance in the shape of said selectable pattern. ### Claim 13 A system for applying embellishments to a substrate, the system comprising: a sticky substance suited for affixing to the substrate in a pattern; an embellishment transfer apparatus comprising: a locked embellishment layer; a deadening agent layer attached to a first side of said locked embellishment layer; and a carrier sheet attached to a second side of the locked embellishment layer by an adhesive other than said locked embellishment layer, wherein a layered arrangement of said deadening agent on said locked embellishment layer adheres to said sticky substance to a greater extent than said layered arrangement of said deadening agent on said locked embellishment layer adheres to said carrier sheet, and wherein a layered arrangement of said deadening agent on said locked embellishment layer adheres to said carrier sheet to a greater extent than said layered arrangement of said deadening agent on said locked embellishment layer adheres to the substrate. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The embellishment transfer delivery system of claim 13, wherein the deadening agent layer is formed from at least one of a foil, talc, cornstarch or chalk. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The embellishment transfer delivery system of claim 13, wherein the locked embellishment layer includes an embellishment disposed in an embellishment locking adhesive. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The embellishment transfer delivery system of claim 13, wherein the embellishment is selected from the group consisting of glitter, sand, flock, flakes, confetti, paper and foil.
