Mojo Escargot {CCMC196}

Hey there everyone! Welcome to another week at Create with Connie & Mary!  It's a sketch week at CCMC and the gals have drawn up a good one for you:

I have been feeling void of any mojo the last few days so my card is a very literal interpretation of the sketch even right down to the wavy ric-rack!

I took all my color choices from the Just Add Cake designer paper coloring the cute little snail with a Blender Pen and Baja Breeze, Wild Wasabi, So Saffron and Peach Parfait ink pads.  Are you wondering how I got the narrow ric-rack?  After I cut the Baja Breeze cardstock with the Tasteful Trims die, I just slid the newly cut piece up a little on the die and ran it through again.  It cut off just enough to give me a narrow piece that I layered on top of the Peach Parfait ric-rack.  Just for fun, I added a trail of Dazzling Diamonds to make a sparkling snail trail.  Tee, hee.  The 2 1/2" circle was trimmed with a long piece of Wild Wasabi cardstock that was punched with the Scallop Ribbon Border punch, run through a paper crimper and adhered to the back with sticky strip.   Finally, I just threaded the Baker's Twine through the tiny holes in the border and tied a bow.  Had to finish off the inside too:

The designer paper is doing double duty both decorative and functional.  It's hiding the sentiment that is right under the stamped snail!

I'm going to keep this short and sweet, my friends.  I hope you'll check out the rest of the Connie & Mary Challenge team and consider playing along with us.  The challenge ends on Wednesday, April 11th at Noon (EST).  Hope you have a great day!
