I traced the entire snail with an Embossing Pen and then embossed with clear EP for a little shiny definition. The snail was colored with Copics and given a marvelous, sparkly sheen with Wink of Stella. It was mounted with foam tape on a Bokeh background - DP by Paper House Productions: "Artist Paper Pix". The edges of the background were inked with 'Stormy Sky' Distress Ink. "White Opal" Liquid Pearl was added to the center of the buttons [from my stash] & they were randomly attached with glue dots to be the flowers. She was adorned with a small yellow ribbon tied in a bow around her neck. White dotted snail slime was added with a white pen.
I created this for the new 613 Ave C challenge... "ATG/ optional Twist: "Use Buttons &/or Bows." You have the month of June to show your creative talents! For details of the challenge and for some very creative ideas from the DT's incredible inspiration concepts - click HERE!
Create wildly and color with abandon!
