Aloha!

• A Penny Black challenge to use embossing along with a Penny Black image. What could be more fun? The Penny Black image -- or embossing? If you go here you will be rewarded with some beautiful renditions of this design challenge by the Penny Black Design Team. My idea here started out to just make a simple beach scene, but how could it not end up in Hawaii? I know that is where this cat would love to be though judging from his posture, I think anywhere in the world would be a delight for him. The additional foam mounted palm trees are from Sizzix (I have to justify all of those dies I have purchased over the years). A little dash of Art Glitter on the sunglasses, rose, and drink umbrella for glitter! The flowers are from a party lei I took apart and I used the string to tie on the Aloha tag. So, I guess you can say this is a "recycling project." Background "Aloha" shirt design paper by DCWV. Embossing? It's the blue swirling background by Cuttlebug. Coloring by Prisma markers and chalk. See ya later, I have gone in search of a hammock and Aloha dreams!
