Quirky Crafts challenge #2 - Quirky Pets

It's time for our new challenge at Quirky Crafts, and this time it's all about Quirky pets - the quirkier, the better!

Our sponsor this month is The Cutting Café, who are providing three prizes for our winners.


I thought a snail would be a particularly quirky creature to have as a pet!  This little fellow and the sentiment came from the Animals and Bug Love Set.  I've layered it up with lots of snippets left from one of the free paper stacks that came with a magazine several years ago. I coloured the snail in with Promarkers then made the shell dotty by dabbing a Promarkers blender pen over it, to go with the dotty background paper.

I actually found the sketch that inspired this layout at Aurora Wings - sadly I am a day too late to enter the challenge but I'd like to give them credit for a super and versatile sketch that I'm sure I'll return to again and again.

I am sharing this with

    Oh, Jane, this is fabulous! I adore the snail but your "quilting" is even more fantastic. Great paper choices and wonderful distressing on the edges. I'm just so tickled that you entered our first ever 'critters' challenge at 2CCC. Thanks and good luck. :-D

    Fabulous snail card! I like your use of lots of distressed papers and this great layout.
    Are you coming over to play in the Snippets Playground too? I'll give you a few pushes on the swings if you like?

    Lovely distressed layers. I love the papers and the super cute snail. A great card Jane. My SIL kept "pet" snails which she used for her thesis. Barbxx
