CAS-ual Fridays/MSS Block Party Co-Challenge

This is my creation for CAS-ual Fridays/Market Street Stamps BLOCK PARTY!  For the Market Street Stamps challenge, the only rule was that I had to use a product from Market Street Stamps.  The challenge for CAS-ual Fridays was to use kraft and twine, so I combined both challenges to create this fun little card. 

Finished card size is 4 1/4"x5 1/2"

I love this sweet little snail!  The snail and sentiment are from Market Street Stamps Slow Movin' set.  I thought this little snail would look absolutely darling with a spiral twine shell.  After stamping the snail and sentiment on the card, I stamped an additional snail on scrap kraft cardstock and cut out the shell.  I placed the shell upside-down in my Xyron 1.5" Create-a-Sticker so the adhesive would be on the top of the shell.  I wound the twine around the outside of the shell and worked my way toward the center.  I then adhered the finished shell with foam for added dimension.  Lastly, I rounded the bottom corners and added pink pearl embellishments to create the plump, rosy cheeks.
