Little Lamb Birthday Card

Hi everyone!  I hope you all had a good weekend!  It went by quickly, didn't it?  I'm posting a card I made for my sweet little niece who will turn 3 years old in about a week.  It feels like we just celebrated her 2nd birthday!!  Time flies...

My daughter wanted to use the little lamb from Create A Critter and we stamped her face with a cute Peachy Keen stamp from the Critter Faces set.  I just love those faces!  We embossed the fur, added green Stickles to her bows and stitched a bit with a white gel pen.  Then we added a jingle bell to her collar - a bit of green trim I found in my stash.  I think my niece will love to hear the bell when she shakes the card!  :-)

Recipe
Lamb cut from Create A Critter
Scalloped card cut from A Child's Year
Patterned paper from BasicGrey
Green textured cardstock from Bazzill
All other cardstock from Recollections
Peachy Keen Critter Faces stamp
Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder
Making Memories green trim
Jingle bell
Green Stickles
White Gelly Roll pen for stitching/doodling
Recollections dimensionals for popping up lamb
Inkadinkadoo birthday stamp

I'm entering this card into seven challenges:
Birthday Sundaes #2 - Create a spring-themed birthday card.
Chloe and Her Clip On Koalas - Create anything with a smile on it or anything that has made someone else smile.   :-)

Cricut Cardz Challenge #67 - Create a card for Spring, using the colors pink, green and white only, and any Cricut cartridges you'd like.  My card is for a spring birthday...I hope that's okay.
FCCB: Challenge Me Monday #52 - Happy Birthday - Since Fantabulous Cricut is one year old this week, the challenge is to create a birthday card or project.
