House Mouse #121 Here Comes the Sun!

     The 2 week challenge at House Mouse was a tricky one for me. The theme is Here Comes the Sun. What I finally settled on, was a scene that plays over and over here on the lake.  The weather gets warmer, and the edges of the lake starts teaming with the frogs ready to mate.  Once they settle into their yearly process, they are not going to move until the ritual is complete.  As you gaze down into the water, the eggs are visible as long ribbons of jelly dots, glistening in the sun.   It is so much fun to witness the circle of life.

     Here is what I used:

     HM #45 Frog Floating
     HM sentiment  111759
     Sun stamp from All Night Media

      My card base is one of the newer Bazzill textured card stocks, and I used my new Romantic Rectangles from Spellbinders.  Things were stamped with Versafine ink and clear embossed.  Coloring was done with Copic Markers, and sponging was done with Memento and VersaMagic inks.  My pond leaves were cut out with Donna Salazar's Carnation Creations by Spellbinders.  Dewdrops were added to depict the eggs. I added a tiny bit of sparkle to the water line with a Sakura Stardust pen.

     That is it for now.  We are having tropical downpours, and it is so dreary.  Hope you are having a great Tuesday, wherever you are.  Thanks for stopping around.  It means so much!
