New challenge today at QKR Stampede and our theme is "Things with Wings." As I started looking through QKR images to see what I was going to use, I found a couple of fun emu images (Digi 1301), one of which had a snail in it (digi 1401) and I used just the snail by die cutting him from the overall image.
I also wanted to use the "I Love Birds" sentiment (Digi 15523 Love Birds.) The expression on the face of the snail was so adoring I just knew the sentiment had to be his. That got me to thinking about emus and snails and I realized that emus would probably eat a snail, if they found one! For the snail's sake, I hope he doesn't know that. lol
I colored the images with ProMarkers, then cut the emu with a die from Spellbinders and cut just the snail with a die from QuicKutz. The edges of the octagon are embossed and I inked the edges of both die cuts. The sentiment is hand cut and also inked on the edges.
I used two sheer ribbons, one white and one purple (yes, my favorite PURPLE but it turned navy blue in the photo!) to wrap the card front and then tie a large, double bow.
