Hello again
Get me....2 posts in a day!!
A friend has her 65th birthday this week, and as she is a big animal lover I knew I couldn't go wrong with a Happy Hoppers image. I made it to fit in with the new challenge over at House-Mouse & Friends which is 'Anything Goes With The Option Of Wet/Dry Embossing.
I'm a big lover of bees (I have one tattto'ed on my arm!), and just couldn't resist this delightful image. The image is decoupaged and then I used my new Carnation Crafts dies to cut out the hexagons. I then ran the yellow layer through again using my favourite Spellbinders double-sided embossing folder. I then used some of the smaller Carnation dies to cut out the mats and layers for the sentiments. The sentiment dies are from Hunkydory and the number dies are from Crafters' Companion. Finally, I added some pearls from Hunkydory. The base card is an 8 x 8 from Creative Crafting World.
I saw my first bumble bee of the year yesterday. It was a huge 'fluffy' bee, sat on my garden wall having a rest. Spring is definitely on it's way and I'm sat on my settee in the sunshine typing this post, with Bailey sunbathing next to me!
I would also like to enter my card in the following challenges:

i love the Happy Hoppers, too bad they stopped making them. The die cut, embossed background looks great and the image is so sweet and beautifully colored. Thanks for sharing your card with us at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.

Where would the world be without bees? I have a yearning to have a hive. I sometime wished I lived in an area that had some land to it.
I love your sweet Happy Hopper card. They are the cutest bunnies. Your card is adorable. Thanks for joining us at HMFMC. {Bunny} Designer for House Mouse and Friends
