Happy Trails!

 


Hi everyone, I'm not usually a fan of snails but for some reason I really like this Impression Obsession one, Happy Trails Snail Mail.

The background was made by sprinkling brushos onto some card stock and spritzing with water.
I dried it with a heat gun, stamped the snail with versafine clair ink then bleached out some of the background colour with a water brush.

The snail and trail are coloured with white and light brown Prismacolour pencils.

I'm linking up to these challenges:

The Alphabet Challenge, T is for traffic.
Admittedly the snail would be very slow traffic lol!


Dies R Us, anything goes using a brand of die DRU sells.


AAA Cards, made in minutes without the optional twist of Christmas.


Edited to add: Also linking up to Mix it Up Challenge anything goes + option of bleaching.
Thanks Trina!


Supplies:
Impression Obsession Happy trails snail mail stamp; versafine clair nocturne ink; clear ep; brushos;
Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die: Spellbinders circle die.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

Super card, Cathy. I love the background you’ve created for your snail. I’m not a fan of snails either but I agree, this one is rather lovely. xx

I am not a fan of them either but this one does have charm, and being a painting doesn't leave that nasty slimy trail..lol. I love the Brusho background the the way you have water bleached and added fresh colour with Prismacolours. A great sentiment too Cathy. x

Adorable card, Carhy! So clever and fun that you included it in the Alphabet challenge!
You should enter this over at Mix It Up challenge (different from CAS Mix where it’s AG + optional bleaching.
