Aloha

Welcome back to the House Mouse Monday Challenges. Hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas and wonderful New Years. Over at House Mouse and Friends blog - Mary has issued the challenge theme --"On the Beach". She was thinking as most of us are having a cold, snowy, wet winter - that this should bring a little bit of SUNSHINE into our lives for just a little while.

I love this adorable Happy Hopper image called "Bunny Cruise" and he is perfect for our Beach Theme. I coloured the image with Prisma colour pencil crayons and gamsol. Masked image and stamped on the Palm trees twice. Next I sponged on the clouds. Clear embossed the drink glass and rubber ducky. Added stickles to to water for sparkles. Cut out the Bunny image - free hand. I lightly pressed the Nestability onto the image - so I could see the nestie shape. I wanted the palm trees to be outside the Nesty shape. Stamped "Aloha onto brarely banana cardstock, sponged edges and cut out with circle punch. The shape under the sun is a flower - used a Martha Stewart flower punch. I used three different dp's for the background and zig zag stitched together. Matted with Stampin up Razzleberry and Tempting Turquoise. Added stickles to the outside of the sun and the base Razzleberry panel. Image panel and sun are popped up.

I sure hope you will hop and over and take a look HERE at what the other DT members have made to inspire you, plus I hope you will join us in our Beach Theme challenge - just make sure to use at least one Happy Hopper, House Mouse or Gruffies image on your card or project.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my little piece of the blogging world.
Happy Stamping and Creating,

Hugs - Pat
