Shop and Eat, Eat and Shop



Shop and eat, eat and shop. Doesn't that make for a great day?? I saw these images from Modern Sugar Boulevard and immediately thought they would make a great little street scene. Wouldn't you love to find a little town with such colorful little shops and cafes? oh yes, and a shop called Paperville? ( I just had to add that!)



I printed the images on watercolor paper and used my SU! markers and aqua painter to color. I also added some Crystal Effects to the shop and car windows. The Shop Shop Shop words are just printed off my computer, and I added some dots with my markers to doodle it up a bit.

ETA: I used CPS Card Sketch 128 as inspiration for the layout!

I am loving these digital images! I was able to play around with the sizes to get them just the right size! I usually just use Powerpoint to manipulate them...so easy! Tomorrow is recipe challenge day (campout food!) and Wednesday is the August release from Angels Landing...and you will love it!!

Hope you had a great weekend!

What a great take on the CPS sketch! I'm lovin' your little street scene -- especially with a special shop called Paperville! (By the way, I read your bio -- I am just a few months away from 51 and have been quite shocked at the amount of gray mixed in with my blondish hair. But, also decided to embrace it -- leaves more money for stamps, ink, and paper!)
