I cut out the aqua frame and attached to white card base. I cut the mushroom border out of gray cardstock and then cut that piece with the same frame die so it would inlay into the bottom section. I colored the toppers to the mushrooms and glued them to the border piece.
I stamped the snails and then stamped the two larger snails again on patterned paper. I colored and fussy cut the snails and used a black marker around the edges to hide any white cardstock from showing. I fussy cut just the shells from the patterned paper and also edged those with a black marker. Then I glued the patterned shells on to the two larger snails. I used a black marker to hand draw the antenna on each snail since this part was too hard to fussy cut.
With a stamp positioner, I really thought I could get the left sentiment inside the frame, but it does overlap slightly onto the aqua frame. I was disappointed, but everything else was done and glued down, so I decided to live with it.
