I have long been an ardent admirer of Kittie's work. Her detailed and dimensional cards are without parallel here on SCS. Knowing that these were beyond my talents, I went back to her early, early work which was just as beautiful. I chose this card of hers for its subject matter and the fact that she watercolored it. Hers has more of a summer/autumn vibe while I went with a springtime look. Notice her card had 144 favorites!!....something practically unheard of on today's SCS! In the sixteen years since her card was done, her talent has only flourished....and she is one of the treasures here on SCS.
A BIG congrats, Kittie. Happy Mother's Day too!

Beautiful card, Sallie! I noticed that Kittie used that stamp a lot and always beautifully. So I definitely knew which stamp she used in the card you chose to case. I love that you took her fall card and made it springy.

Simply stunning, Sallie! I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to say these flowers are sweet peas. Only wish I could smell their sweet fragrance. A beautiful tribute to Kittie, Sallie!

Both your card and your write-up are a beautiful tribute to Kittie. I love when you do watercoloring and your talents are on full display here with this gorgeous card. While the floral picture could easily stand on its own, you have showcased it with beautiful dp and that exquisite touch of gold pen. Fabulous card.
