Funky Fairy Challenge 10

It's all about the eyelet! The Funky Fairy challenge this week is to go mad with eyelets and ribbon. I haven't done that (yet) but HAD to use this eyelet: It arrived this morning with some other bits as an extra in a craft order. What perfect timing!My husband has requested a card with a snail on for his son's 32nd birthday ! They are all really competitive and it's as a reminder that this son came last out of a cycle race between dad and 2 oldest sons up Alpe D'Huez so they nicknamed him 'escargot'. Other son came first and was called the chicken (???) ! Doing it at all is amazing !
Used: Funky Fairy Cool Co-ordinates paper (turned square paper to make diagonals), DCWV 'Boy' adhesive ribbon, papermania sticker sentiment, unknown source of snail eyelet, image from french children's colouring site (must get addy from my son) coloured with pearly paints and shell covered with 3D glaze.
