Blue Snail Card (KBD Aloha Friday Challenge #66 Mid Inspiration + Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2016, #9)

Hi everyone! :o)

My second post today is my mid-inspiration project for ongoing Aloha Friday Challenge at Kitty Bee Designs. I'm soooo late with posting, again! I'm so very tired from the weather here. Too much rain! Anyhow, there is four more days to the end of our challenge and I hope to see your wonderful creations there. :o)

The challenge for this fortnight is #66 - In the Garden.

We have two sponsors for this challenge: Oddball Art Co and Crafts and Me , so there will be double prizes! :o)

For this challenge I made a CAS (clean and simple), one layer, Blue Snail Card, using our sponsor's Oddball Art Co lovely digital image Skylar & Friends 'Signs of Spring'.

I printed a snail on a watercolor paper and colored it in watercoloring technique using Stabilo Markers. I learned that from a great video tutorial by Julia Altermann, how to watercolor using inexpensive Stabilo pens.

I fussy cut the image and colored it's edges with black pen. Then I printed one more image on a white cardstock paper and fussy cut that image too, but leaving white border. I glued colored image over it. Now the image was thicker. I added white highlights, glued 3D foams on the back and placed the snail on a card base.

Then I glued a wood chip speech bubble on the card, glued enamel stickers in a shape of flower and my card was finished. I love CAS cards! :o) 

Card dimensions are 88 mm x 120 mm (3 1/2" x 4 3/4").
