Yay! I finally did it! I finished a card for the House Mouse Challenge! For months I have been admiring these adorable little critters and the cards by the DT are amazing. I have to give special credit to our friend Carolyn who inspired me with her beautiful creations. I recently bought some Happy Hoppers stamps and with Carolyn's generous collection of more images, I have plenty to work on.
I guess I've hesitated this long because I am more comfortable coloring with Copics, but these little guys deserve the softness of PrismaColors. But you know what they say, "Practice makes perfect". These are far from perfect, but I'll keep on practicing. I had a piece of scrapbook paper with a photographic image of the beach which somehow suited these cuties. Imagine one of those watermelon seeds finding their way into the lemonade glass!! Heehee, LOL! Uh, um, I hope you enjoy this brief trip to the beach.

Hi Barb:
Aren't they the cutest? ....and you've coloured them so nicely with the prismas. Would you believe, I've ordered a couple of WOJ stamps - you're my inspiration, kiddo.
Love the "House Mice" - well done!
Ahahahaha!!! This is adorable!!!! You must have been at the beach with us because the whole watermelon seed and lemonade glass comment sounds like some mischief my boys would get into;o) You have most definitely created the perfect summer card with this sweetie!!! Watermelon...lemonade...relaxation...the beach...there is no better way to spend the lazy days of summer:o) I LOVE IT!!!
