Dream Mini Card

Hi everyone :-D

Today is my birthday and would like to thank everyone for beautiful wishes! I am having lovely and super fun day. :-D 

I was crafting a bit this evening and made this CAS (clean and simple), one layer, Dream Mini Card. 

This is a CASE of my Enjoy Card and it was quick and easy to make. I was also inspired with Chakra Colors.

I cut out card base from a white cardstock paper and rounded two opposite corners with round corner paper puncher. Card dimensions are 76 mm x 101 mm (3" x 4"). 

I stamped mini snail from  Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy' stamp set on card base, colored it with colored pencils and covered it with transparent varnish to create glossy accents.

I drew path and wrote sentiment with a black superfine permanent pen.

I embellished card with homemade violet faux enamel dots. I learned how to make faux enamel dots from video tutorial by ScrapTips on YouTube. First I made glue dots with a glue gun on a backing paper and colored them with Marabu glass Amethyst color. After drying, I glued them on the card base with transparent varnish (it works better than glue).
