This is for FS268 and our challenge was to feature ourselves. I was inspired to recreate Spring Chicks found here: Spring Chicks by kittie747 at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the same basic layout and animal theme but changed the images to Angels Landing Nature Babies 2 Fox, Raccoon and Squirrel, background colorfrom pink to blue and replaced the fence line with a border of field grass and wild flowers. I printed the image twice on plain white cardstock so I could pop up the squirrel and raccoon in front of the fox and have grass in between them. I heat set the ink really well before watercoloring with reinker. I picked my colors and got lots of helpful hints by referring to Judi's wonderful Coloring Guide found here: http://www.angelslanding.com/wordpre...ng-guides/#fox Although I don't use Copics to color Judi's guide will be helpful to you no matter what medium you use. I die cut the tree using watercolor paper and painted the limbs and leaves with reinkers. My blog: http://kittiekraft.typepad.com/kittiekraft/

Squeeee!!! I'm in love....those little nature babies are precious, adorable and utterly sweet - your coloring of them and the scene you've created is out of this world, Kittie!

This is wonderful, Kittie! I love seeing your awesome scenes and this is a fabulous one. I have to laugh at how well these critters seem to get along. We have them all in our yard and they don't seem to like each other, lol. And that darn raccoon won't stay out of the hummingbird feeders!
