Dreaming of the Sea in Watercolor

I've been wanting to play along with this month's CAS Watercolor challenge given the fun seasonal theme!

And today (a 90 degree day here!)  I finally got up to my craft room and sweat out a card! It made me cooler just thinking about sitting on this sweet little chair at the ocean!

First, I stamped the image and sentiment in Archival Jet Black ink onto a panel of Arches Watercolor paper and dried it with my heat tool to be sure it was set.  Then I brushed water over over the panel, then brushed on the blue and tan watercolors.

I layered the watercolor paper to a slightly larger Hawaiian Shores panel and layered that onto a white card base.   Then I die cut the Gothic Window out of watercolor paper and layered it with foam dots to frame the image (and luckily it fit between the words of the sentiment!)

I'm also linking my card to:
