Snail Friends and Giveaway!

Hey friends! So it is Tuesday here and it is a nice Autumn's day, wishing I could stay at home and enjoy...but knowing me I would just curl up in bed right now, due to having been sick for almost over a week now..hoping it passes soon, because there is so much that I wish to do around here.

As I have been sick this past week there have been so many well wishes from friends around the world, whether it be on Twitter or comments through my blog from the people that have known I was, I cannot be more grateful..you are all just the best friends that anyone could have.

So in order to make you smile and say thank you, I would like to have a little giveaway...Jane, from Jane's Doodles kindly offered that I would be able to have a little giveaway with one of her images...but first I wish to share a card that I created using the Mr Snail image.  All of Jane's images can be found HERE or HERE, super super cute, a must check out!

I resized the image, flipped one of the snails around so they were facing one another on my computer and printed it out onto white card stock along with a scratch piece of paper. Trimming around the 2 snails that were on the scratch paper and adhering over the top of the snails on the card stock with removable adhesive, using this to mask the images off, taking the Hero Arts, Cloud background stamp, inking it with Pool ink and stamping over the top of the card stock, peeling the masking off and colouring the snails in with my Copics. Taking some My Minds Eye patterned paper, blending some Peeled Paint distress ink over the top of the paper and adhering to the cloud card stock, adding some twine to the top of the paper. Finally, trimming white card stock to form a tag and stamping a sentiment from the All Occasion Messages stamp set, corner rounding the corners and adhering to a Raspberry Fizz card, corner rounding the corners to match.

Alright, so now onto the giveaway..I have decided that I am going to giveaway Mr Snail to one lucky person as he is uber cute, leave me a comment on this post by 11.59pm, Sunday 10th April, (Australian time) and I will announce the winner on Monday 11th April (Australian time).



Looking forward to seeing all your comments.

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs

Hey lovely....what a trooper you are, still blogging when you've been feeling so poorly. These snails are uber cute and you've done a stellar job creating a cheery little card with them.
Bless Jane for her generosity and you for wanting to have another giveaway. Please don't count me in for this one since I'm still on a high from my win in your challenge.
Still sending big hugs your way. xx
