This is for Color Challenge 54 to use Bashful Blue, Apricot Appeal and Pumpkin Pie. I cheated and added greens and browns as I wanted to make a springy bunny scene using the darker pumpkin color which we usually think of for fall. I added a big, pumpkin car to the scene of bunnies for a bug, fun touch. I painted the trees free hand and used my special Watercolor Mini fern stamp for the leaves, grass and flowers. I used an artist pen to draw in extra patches of grass in the field and around the trees.

Kittie, you are so artistically talented. I'm loving all of these scene cards you've done with the watercolor minis. Your masking and coloring is so awesome, but how you put other subject material in to create a scene is fantastic. You've inspired me to purchase this stamp set. Now I only hope I can begin to make my cards look even half as good as yours.

Absolutely unbelievable! You put so much work into it and it shows. What a cute scene and the truck definitely adds a fun touch. The coloring is beautiful. TFS!

This reminds me of Bert's chalk drawings from Mary Poppins. It looks like you could jump right into that picture. These are breathtaking. I will be attempting to case this for my Easter Cards but I KNOW I will not be able to come close to yours. Beautiful job!

Kittie,
I have admired your work for a long time. You are quite an artist and your "paintings" are AMAZING! I could look at your cards for hours. Just wanted to let you know that.
