I created this card, from concept to completion in "1 1/2 "innings!" Yes, my darling husband, Scott, promised to run errands with me. However, when I told him I was ready, with purse and errand list in hand, he asked me if I could wait "1 1/2 innings" for his televised baseball game to end. After a brief "hrumph" from me, I zipped back to my Ultimate Stampin' Zone and pulled this simple card together. LESSON LEARNED (and, of course, it can vary) 1 1/2 innings translates to about 15 minutes.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
I'm hooked on the quilling technique I shared recently on my blog. This snail's swirly body was a perfect opportunity. To learn more, watch my Stampin' Pretty Paper Quilling Video Tutorial.
- Early Espresso/White Baker's Twine gives the buttons a clean finish.
- A simple background of 3/4" Circles (Calypso Coral) looks very modern and mirror the shape of the snail's shell.
- Want to dress it up? This color combination looks wonderful with Crumb Cake. Layer it directly to the card base (below the layers) and add a Crumb Cake Envelope.
