Snail Mail

I've had a busy couple of days so it's a late post from me this evening but I wanted to share a light-hearted clean and simple card inspired by the following challenges:

Addicted To CAS have the code word of 'postage' and I immediately thought of my retired 'Snailed It' stamp set for a suitably themed card - take a look at what I came up with:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

That letter-carrying snail is so cute and the colours at Colour Dare were perfect for his slimy body and shiny shell (I used both greens with a pop of pink for the heart and my envelope decoration). I cut him out with one of the Perennial Postage Dies to add to the theme and I also added a pair of googly eyes because, well - everything is more fun with googly eyes, right?

I'm also linking up today's card over at The Alphabet Challenge Blog where they are on 'Z is for Zoology'. There were so many animals I could have chosen for their challenge, but this little guy reminded me of the giant snails that you sometimes see at the zoo - they always used to fascinate my children when they were younger.

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any.

Enjoy your evening and I'll be back soon with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!

I don't know that I've ever thought a snail was adorable in real life, but this paper one sure is! That's such a fun use of the colors and the googly eyes are amazing. I didn't even think of this stamp set for the postage challenge, but it's a perfect choice. We saw some giant snails when we lived in Japan--I just looked it up and they can be up to 8 inches long! They also had giant spiders and centipedes too.

What a wonderful CAS card, I love how you've chosen a stamp shaped paper for your motif. It couldn't be more perfect for the snail mail theme. I also like how you brought the image to life by using googly eyes, such a great interactive element. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.

Hugs, Veronika
