I have put a ton of effort into creating a snail trail in the past. Today, using the stamp included in this darling Concord & 9th Snail Mail set, I used Holographic embossing powder and think it's my best effort to date. Here's a closer up...
Ta DA! CAS and a little bit of coloring!

Snail mail is the best and when you send it to tell someone they're the best it's even better! Love that shiny trail. Love the snail, the sentiment. Looks like a whole cute set! You did great with your CAS card and the coloring. A little dab'll do ya!
ReplyDeleteThat snail trail is perfect, Michele! So shiny and slimy looking! Love this sweet snail with his shell and the wonderful sentiment!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely darling, Michele!!!

ReplyDeleteso darned cute!
ReplyDeleteWhile snails aren't usually my choice... yours is adorable! Love the trail too - great card, Michele!
ReplyDeleteCAS cuteness! Your "snail trail" takes me back to the 80's when I made a card with a slug/snail and I had to use Stickles for the slimey trail. Wish I'd known about embossing powder back then. ;)
ReplyDeleteTerrific card, Michele. I love that holographic embossing powder. You're right it is perfect for the snail trail. I just love seeing what your creative mind thinks up. Happy sigh!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about snails that are so appealing on paper? This is darling and I love the trail idea! Thanks for joining us for CAS WEEK at Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous shimmery trail your snail created here. Super sentiment and love how softly you coloured that cute snail. Thanks for sharing again with us at Just Us Girls. Love your creativity.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely adorable, Michele, and the trail is fabulous...
ReplyDeleteLove that wee holographic snail trail! Such a cute card!
ReplyDeleteYour snail is so darling, Michele! The snail trail must have a "unique" shine in real life. Love this cute CAS card!

Way behind with my commenting Michele, so let me see if I can get caught up starting here. I had to chuckle at your "make snails while the sun shines". Never hear that expression before! Glad you are having blue skies and sunshine though! We go back and forth with blue skies and sunshine to dreary rainy days. Love, love, love this CAS card! Your snail is too cute and I love the way you colored him. The sentiment is perfect too! The snail trail is so fun and I love the holographic embossing powder you used. So fun! Such a great card to let someone know how much they mean to you....all using snail mail! LOL Love that! Hugs, Brenda
