Hi! This is my second FS ever, and I really liked Dawn's gallery. This is also my first try at watercolor and masking. Grandma taught me how to mask to cover up where I went over the lines on my cats. It works great! No do-over! I liked how a girl named Rachel from Grandma's stamp class did her torn paper towel sky in sunset colors, so I cased her idea.

Such a pretty card, I think it looks like those kitties are staring in amazement at your stunning sky saying "don't you think Hailey has a lot of talent going on here?" I think your Mom must of been so proud of you when she opened this card. TFS.
