This is the card I have been wanting to make ever since. I'd convinced myself that I had lost the snail dies, but in fact I was sure they were Leane Creatief whilst actually they were Marianne, so I was looking in the wrong place. Only when I was looking through my Amazon purchase history for something for DH did I spot them and realise the problem.
So, this is the third background I tried them on. I had hopes of a gel print but it was too busy. So I found this sunny bright stencil monoprint - Brusho acrylic mist, I think. I curved the border stamp to create a trail for them, and added green foliage all along the top. Edged it with silver ink and silver EP. The snail bodies were cut from kraft, and the shells were part of the collage sheet I created with a bunch of old postage stamps. If you can see, one is carrying his house wherever he goes, and there's a tiny little heart on the other one. DH loves this.

How cute! Those snails are really cool...the shells are fab! And your bg and framing are super as always. Thanks for playing and keeping this challenge in the back of your mind

Fav'd. You inspire me, Sabrina. I'm on a snail kick right now, and so happy I found your cute, clever, and creative card. I can't wait to make some postage stamp collage paper!
