Have you ever wondered how our featured stamper today, Schirmcat (Kelly), got her red hair? Seems she met up with some naughty bunnies one day who were disguising their paint brushes as carrots. They lured poor, sweet Schirmcat over by offering her some carrots. Being the sweet, trusting, naive little kitty she is, she was like a lamb to the slaughter and fell into the naughty bunnies' trap to paint her hair red! Schirmcat is a tabby, so her hair already had that golden hue and with the addition of the naughty bunnies' red paint, she now has orange-red highlights in her hair.
If I remember the legend correctly, these naughty bunnies led Schirmcat to make this card for them just before Christmas last year:
Disclaimer: No bunnies or kitties were harmed in the making of this naughty card. They were merely colored with Copic markers and some heated liquid applique applied to two of the bunny butts. No hairs were singed or scorched. The naughty bunnies were stamped images sent to me a long time ago by da Muddermark. heh-heh-heh
Congratulations, Kelly!! I have long awaited this day to honor you and chose to case your sweet Bunny Bouquet card:

PS I was seriously born with that hair color! The only difference is the addition of a few teensy blonde highlights to cover all the white hairs that have been popping up from all the naughtiness...both at SCS and from Eva and Claire at my house, hee~
