Portofino Paint Inlay (IOD) Iron Orchid Designs- 12x16 Pad

Escape to the sun-drenched Italian Riviera with the Portofino IOD Paint Inlay by Iron Orchid Designs. This richly layered, 8-sheet collection captures the warmth and romance of coastal Mediterranean living — cobalt blue toile vases overflowing with peonies, sun-ripened lemons cascading from leafy branches, ornate Baroque cartouches bearing Portuguese love phrases, gilded oval medallions with floral urns, vintage botanical lemon studies, and lemon-and-shell garland borders in a signature blue-and-gold palette.

Imagine a kitchen hutch transformed into a Portofino market scene, its doors dressed in lemon garland borders and a toile vase centerpiece. Or a tray that reads Cozinhar é um ato de Amor — “Cooking is an act of Love” — framed in Baroque gold scrollwork. The Portofino inlay brings that sun-soaked, storied feeling to any painted surface, and because the pigment stays active until sealed, every piece you create will be uniquely yours.
