Snail Notecard

Hi everyone, I'm so glad you liked yesterday's post of the Inchie Notecards! Today I'm using that Lockhart snail again....it's actually called Escargot if you go searching for it in Ellen's store. My little helper Emma will be assisting me today.......she's the curious kitty in the photo below. She just HAD to hop up on that chair to see what was there while I was photographing my project! She helps me most of the days that I photograph outside. Here's one card of another set of notecards that I made, using the purple Arturo notecards and Basic Grey Sprout paper from Ellen's shop. Simple little notecards with lined envelopes.

After stamping and coloring my image with Copic markers, I cut, embossed and layered the snail image using Spellbinder's Rectangle and Scallop Rectangle Nestabilities. The polka dots from the patterned paper would make a good background mat I thought.
I simply folded my pre-scored notecards (which are SO soft by the way), added a strip of patterned paper and mounted the snail image in the center. Again, by using a ruler, you can find that center mark easily. I added two decorative pearls for a little snail trail.......or do you think it looks like snail poop like my daughter said? LOL! I debated on whether to leave them or not.
A simple lining for the envelope and my cards were complete.
Again, another wonderful project for teacher's or Mother's Day, graduations, etc. Or just great to have on hand for simple thank you notes or little gift enclosure cards.
