Snail Mail for Festive Friday and Inkspirational
10 March 2020
Hi Everyone
I have a fun card for you tonight. It's another one of the cards that will be part of the next batch that I send off to SendASmile4Kids. I saw this super cute set from Whimsy Stamps on Simon Says Stamp and decided I had to have it... cos you know I'm a little obsessed with gnomes :-)
I was inspired to make this card for these two challenges:
My animal is snail and my choices from Festive Friday are cute animals, sunshine/sunrays, stitched (die-cut)
I had tremendous fun coloring this image and then adding the sun rays behind it. Of course, I just love the sentiment! I wanted to create a cobblestone effect under the focal images, so tried to add texture and not smooth out the coloring.
Here's my card:
I really hope this brings a smile to some child's face... it certainly did mine :-)
I'll be back tomorrow with another card. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee
