Rainy's sketch
Born to be Wild: Ms. Snail
The Happiest Hour fabric inspiration which was so challenging for me!
I used SU Pink Flamingo DP layered onto Kiwi Kiss. The snail image is from The Cat's Pajamas. It already had a square drawn around it, but I didn't like the angle of the flower, so I used tape to mask off the square while I inked it, then took the tape off to stamp it. I colored it with copics and Bics, adding some white dots to Ms Snail with a gel pen. I used a nestie as a stencil to trace a square, then cut around the flower and leaf.
The sentiment is from My Favorite Things, and not only did that American Craft ribbon go with the theme, all the colors matched, too! And those button brads matched kiwi kiss perfectly, too.
American Craft Ribbon: $2.00
Making Memories Button Brads: $3
Having everything coordinate to use in a challenging sketch: The Happiest Hour ;)

Very pretty! You matched the flowers on the ribbon with the DP perfectly! The snail image is so cute and paired really well with the sentiment. Buttons are sweet too. Such a happy, positive card!
