It’s Scenic Saturday with Amybella!

Hello!

Amy here and it’s time for a new Scenic Saturday post. As I was deciding what I was in the mood to create with I knew I wanted an image with a summertime vibe. I flipped past many great beach and swimming stamps but none of them were really calling out to me this week. It wasn’t until I landed on the classic Tiny Townie Sally Rides her Snail that I knew I had a winner. Sure, she’s not specifically a summer stamp but that cute little sleeveless romper she is wearing always makes me think of warmer weather. I paired Sally and her snail with the Gnome Backdrop stamp to add extra whimsy to this scene then proceeded to color it all in a rather citrus inspired color palette. Wanting to keep a fresh expanse of green across the middle of the card, I chose not to color in the road section of the backdrop stamp in the usual earth tones. Instead, I ignored the path lines and colored all of the ground as a sloping green hillside. That doesn’t mean Sally’s snail still couldn’t leave a glistening snail trail behind him as he goes, which was easily added by squeezing out a meandering line of Ranger Glossy Accents onto the card front once it was all put together. It’s a fun touch, that when paired with this simple sentiment, works together to help tell this magical story.  🙂

Stay crafty my friends!
