It is Friday the 13th and here I am talking about snail mail. Today I am sharing this card that I made using a digi from Kinda Cute. I colored the image with my Prismacolor colored pencils.
I printed my image out onto Canson C’ a Grain Drawing paper and after coloring it I cut it out with a circle die. I cut a frame using the same circle die and one bigger out of the same green cardstock that I am using for my cardpanel.
I completed this simple card by adding a piece of patterned paper from my stash to the cardpanel and adding my image with the frame to the bottom section of the card. I used a shadowed die cut sentiment to complete the card. I love sending snail mail.
For those of you who follow my blog, here is a color combo download sheet for the pencils I used in this project.

Against this beautiful floral background, your snail looks really cute. I don't know what snail mail means, but the idea itself is funny. Only snail mail works in Poland, heh …

Such a pretty card and your coloring is fab. I really need to look at my die cuts and see if I have any shadow ones. I like how they look. xoxo
Beautiful image. Well done.
This is so cute, Monica! I love the paper you chose and your coloring on that darling snail is marvelous. I have some very old Cranson drawing paper and I've never used pencils on it. Can you believe? I'm going to have to remedy that today. 😀
How did it happen that my comment is not here :-)?
I love this card, it should be a card for Poczta Polska, which is literally snail mail. I have to do a similar one and send it to the president of this institution, hahaha
