I have been having fun with my new " Garden Whimsy" set I just got .. YIPPEE! This was actually the very 1st set I knew I wanted cause Of course it just screams for glitter .. Wouldn't you know one of the 1st cards I make with it doesn't have a spec of glitter ( OH NO!) .. I used Always Artichoke and River Rock Card stock along with my new scallop punch from SU! too ( Love this punch ) .For my snails I did the rock and roll technique. I 1st stamped with River Rock and then rolled the edges with Always Artichoke .. I also used some retired ribbon from last years catalog called "Seaside " ( I really love how this ribbon ties so cute ) and used my retired scallop SU! scissors for the edge around the saying ..( I just love that saying from this set) .. 
I took 2 photo of this card cause I wanted to show you that the snail's are actually adhered to the inside of the card which you can see in the 2nd photo I just used my 1 1/4 circle punch for those and the centers of the scallop punch out . and then added the white gel pen Dots along with my black SU! marker for the tiny dots. Thanks for peeking in today.
Until later girls ... Happy Stampin!

Such a cute card!!! I haven't used the River Rock yet. Wasn't sure I could make it work. You did a fantastic job pairing it up with Artichoke. Have a GREAT weekend!

So then did you use that stampamajig to make it look like the snail is progressively walking in the circle punched windows?
Awesome!

Love this card and the cute snail! I don't have this set, but already thinking of what cute animal I can substitute in the meantime to copy your card!
