Ombré Snails Mini Card

Hi everyone :-D

First I would like to congratulate all women... Happy Women´s Day!  

Today I have another mini card to share with you. It´s this Ombré Snails Mini Card.


 
I cut out a panel from a white cardstock paper. I draw lines and borders with a black permanent pen, using ruler. Then I stamped 14 snails, using  a super cute mini snail from  Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy' stamp set

After the ink was dry, I colored snails with colored pencils and their shells in watercoloring technique, using Tim Holtz´s Distressed Ink Mustard Seed, water and brush, as well as a background, creating Ombré Effect. 

Then I covered snails with transparent varnish to create glossy accents.

I cut out a card base from a white cardstock paper and glued the panel on it. Finished! :-D

Card dimensions are 79 mm x 101 mm (3 1/8" x 4 1/8").
