       I believe they're water transfer. Cut one out and let it soak for 20-30 seconds in lukewarm water and carefully slide it off of the backing and onto the work.

You can also create your own decals, scan any existing artwork, JPG from the internet, older decals or make your own and print them out. You do have to clear coat them before put them down since the water tends to lift the ink off the page
