Suspended snail

I’m getting really into these suspension cards now – they’re great fun to make and irresistible to play with with completed! On this one the circle spins around to show a red snail and a blue snail. I despise snails but it fit so perfectly in the circle that I couldn’t resist.

I have a tutorial half prepared for this technique but it will have to wait until the weekend as I get in a mess uploading multiple pictures.

To colour the image, I used ink pads and blender pens. I think I did a better job of the blue side than the red.

Cardstock: Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Very Vanilla, Naturals Ivory
Paper: Petals & Paisleys (p73)
Ink: Old Olive, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Black StazOn®
