Hello friends! When I think of summer, I envision sun-drenched afternoons, the scent of citrus in the air, and the intricate patterns of Mediterranean tiles that seem to radiate with history and charm.

So this paper art illustration “Summer Vibes” features refreshing lemons and classic Mediterranean tile designs, all meticulously crafted from paper by me. I wanted to capture the warmth, color, and joy of summer and travelling, and I believe this illustration in a shape of postage stamp does just that.

Some elements were drawn and cut by hand, and to make more intricate ones I used my Silhouette Cameo 4.  Here is a short video of how I assembled this paper art illustration. Oh I just love that you can make so many beautiful things simply from paper!

The Inspiration

Lemons are synonymous with summer – their bright yellow color and zesty scent evoke feelings of freshness and energy. They remind me of lazy afternoons in the sun, lemonade stands, and the simple pleasures of warm weather. Mediterranean tiles, with their rich history and intricate designs, add a touch of elegance and tradition. The combination of these two elements felt perfect for making this summer-themed paper illustration.
