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/
Fabulous card, Kittie! I love the taller grasses for the nature babies! The tree, clouds and tiny flowers are wonderful! Your coloring of the animals is outstanding!

Kittie,
I just wonder if you have any cards that aren't in my favs? This is so, so adorable and made me smile immediately. I have these images and will need to try something similar. Notice, I say "similar," because I will never, ever be able to come close to your wonderful and adorable card!!

Oh my goodness, Kittie. What a gorgeous job you did with my images. Your watercolors look terrific on them. I also like the way you've nested them into the layers of grass. You've got amazing patience to handle all those tiny leaves and flowers. And thanks so much for your sweet comments about my coloring diagrams.
