I am so grateful for this experience of visiting a family run Lemon Farm
while on holiday in Positano. Such a wonderful day exploring and learning
all about Lemons from two brothers who are continuing the family tradition.
2 Crafty Chipboard used…
Cartia’s Swirl
6x4 Phrase stick set 5
Frame Maria’s
Lace Doily
Circle Tag set 2
Corner Thick Vine
Tucking Cartia's Swirl in between my layers adds a touch of whimsy with
a vintage finish. This was achieved by watercolouring with Teal randomly
and drying the brush off to run it over the Swirl to give a light worn effect.
I chose one of the Phrase Sticks for my title and cut one end to make it a
banner. Then I coloured the indented words with a Teal watercolour. Dried
off my brush and dry brushed over the top so the Teal finish was lighter.
Love how it looks on the side of my layout on top of my fussy cut floral
arrangements.
By cutting the Corner Thick Vine into two pieces I was able to flow it
under my photo as though it was one piece. After watercolouring with
a couple of shades of yellow I finished the pieces off by rubbing some
White Gold Wax over it with my finger.
Deciding to layer the end of the Frame Maria's over the Lace Doily
became a unique embellishment with pretty details. I went with a two toned
Teal finish on the Doily. So I gave the inner circle of the Frame a light finish
to contrast and a Darker finish on the extended fancy bits. Then to
distinguish the Frame I rubbed some White Gold wax over it with my finger.
A light watercolour of yellow over the Circle Tag coordinated it to my
layout perfectly. It was the perfect word to show how I was feeling in
this moment on my holiday.
Until next time...
