Seaside Village Watercolor Card

I had the idea of creating a 3D seaside village for my aunt's birthday.  She loves watercoloring so that is the technique I chose.    I love this beautiful Art Impressions Shoppes stamp set.

Village Shoppes
I started by stamping the two shoppes with grey ink on Ranger Watercolor paper.  Then I used my new watercolors to bring my scene to life. Next, I took another panel of watercolor paper and created my background.   After the shop images were dry, I fussy-cut and used foam tape to adhere to the background panel.    Last, I stamped the sentiment (WPlus9 - Doodle Buds) in the sky area.

I am happy with the card and hope Aunt Nancy will like it.

I am entering this card in:

Art Impressions Cutting Edge Challenge.  Fussy cutting was my "cutting
edge".

    This is such a delightful little scene! I would be so happy to sit in that little Cafe and sip a coffee and eat some pastries! Reminds me of my former life in Europe. Thank you so much for linking up with us at the Card of the Month Card Club!

    What a lovely little scene! I feel like I'm walking around my city - here in France we have lots of small alleys with coffee bars on every street corner.
    Thank you so much for joining us at our Day of the Month Card Club Challenge.
    Have a happy day.
