Summer Showers


Moving right this week in the House-Mouse  summer theme I'm sharing one that I really loved to color. It was really my first time to color rocks, tons of rocks. So I did a search for river rock and used an image for reference.

So the next step was picking out the closest marker color matches I had and start coloring!
