This is for SC3285. I've been neglecting some of my all time favorite stamp sets and decided to pull one this evening for this challenge. And Everything Nice is a SU set that I will never let go. I think the little girls are beautiful and lend themselves so beautifully to watercoloring. I also love to create little outdoor scenes around them.
I stamped the image, painted and cut out. I created a little background scene on a separate piece of watercolor using an artist pen to sketch the tree, sponges and my Kittie Kits mini fern stamp. When I was finished with the scene I sponged over it with a light shade of yellow and I love the storybook feel it gives to the scene. And I just cannot stop using my punches to embellish my cards with foliage and flowers. I guess I will get over it sometime!!

Kittie,
This is beautiful! The colors and scene are awesome (and the little image is sweet). You've colored it all wonderfully. She looks as if she is ready to step through a doorway!
