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".
  
Day of the Month Inaugural Card Challenge  What fun to participate in Challenge #1!


Allsorts "Favorite" Challenge.  Two favorites on this card:  the idyllic shoppes stamps and the sentiment stamp.

  

Sisterhood of Crafters "Ladies" Challenge.  I think this scene is one most ladies would appreciate.
