Snail Mail


Lisa Johnson's most recent Poppy Seed challenge includes these three seeds: a button, polka dots, and spring green.
After stamping the adorable snail from Baby Button Bits, I couldn't decide whether to use a button on it. I thought it was pretty cute with just those little brown polka dots. Then I found the perfect button-- spring green  and translucent so the dots  still show, and the perfect size---decision made...button adhered.




The card base is Spring Moss with layers from Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird Mini Deck. I stamped the snail and sentiment in Rich Cocoa. I also used Very Vintage Labels No. 3 stamp and cut out the focal point with Nestabilities. I chose a narrow brown ribbon so it wouldn't overpower the image.
Thanks for stopping by,

Supplies:
Stamps: Baby Button Bits, Vintage Picnic (PTI),Very Vintage Labels No. 3 (Waltzingmouse Stamps)
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
Paper: Vintage Cream, Spring Moss (PTI), Early Bird Mini Deck(Cosmo Cricket)
Other: Labels 3 Nestabilities; button, ribbon(Hobby Lobby)

    A very sweet springy looking card and of course the snail could have a see through shell, didn't the snail in Dr. Doolittle have one? :)
