Hello Friends, … maybe I should be saying “Hello Sunshine” 🙂
When I laid my eyes on this stamp set from WPlus9 I H.A.D. to have it. After coloring the images it was fun to add a few accents. I added Enamel Accents to the noses and really popped the “sunshine” part with some black foam.
The frame of the die cut was also popped with some black foam. Foam is really inexpensive and can give you lots of yummy dimension. This foam comes in a variety pack and it has a sticky back. I always glue together at least 2 layers of foam.
One thing to note that I did when I color these critters … I drew around the eyes to add a realistic feel … like a raccoon does. The bear in the center of the tree … was colored as a raccoon …proof that you can mix up critters. When I post the tree card I will give a few more details on that. Have a great week and thanks for your visit!! Hugs, Kathy
P.S. Not all raccoons are created equal. I used an image like this as a guide to color the one in the tree.

Love your card Kathy, your racoon is so adorable and your colouring is beautiful!
What adorable cards! Your critters are so accurate. This is NOT how I picture the raccoons that play on the stairs of our pool and leave it all muddy! Yours look much tidier! ❤️
Such a sweet card. Also love your racoon bear.

Adorable set and I love raccoons! they are so sweet looking, but don’t mess with them. They can however give you tons of watching fun! We have them in ur backyard – the babies look like furry balloons when they run!
Your coloring is superb!!!
OMG how cute is that little rascal, but of course Kathy you always do an awesome job. One day I can only hope to get as wonderful as you are dear. I just love these stamp sets. P.S. have you ever heard of Stamp of Approval? She does one box full of stamps and dies like every 3 months and the Christmas on is very cute….just thought I would share with you what was shared with me.

Kathy this card is just precious. As always you have made me fall in love with a card.

I really like the composition of your card and the coloring is fantastic.
Wow super coloring on those cute critters! Such cute scenes!
I love how you colored your raccoon. It does like the picture of the real one. Your card is so adorable! It really does look real. While I am not a fan of the all the critters like squirrels and raccoons because they are ruining our lawn and flowers that I have planted in pots I like your card. You always do such a nice job on all of your cards.
Oooh how cute!!…..This is so beautiful as always your creations are stunning and well thought out xx
Fabulous coloring as usual. I love this card.
