What a production this was for me! This is my first *Kittie card*, and I've learned so much doing it. I really struggled with it, since I had no watercolor paper, no Watercolor Mini fern stamp, no artist pens, and almost no reinkers. I ended up painting the scene with markers and a small brush dipped in water and touched to the tip of the marker. I did the leaves on the tree with the leafy or ferny stamp from Touch of Nature. The bunny is from Tender Toile. The rocks and tiny flower stems are from the very old set, Scenery. I filled in around the greenery with what I think is a cloud stamp from the same set. The bluebird is from Feathered Hope, and the HB sentiment from Feathered Friends. I did use the Cloud Template, although you can barely see it, and sponged the sky and horizon with Bashful Blue and Barely Banana, as per Kittie's instructions. Her fabulous tutorial can be found here: Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
With the proper supplies, I will be very eager to try this again.
Thank you Kittie, for your endless inspiration, patience, and friendship!
Thanks for looking! Maddy

OMG! This not only qualifies as a *Kitty Card*, but also limited supplies- and you should get an award for ingenuity! What a beautiful job!
