Happy Birthday to Ewe! - Shaped Card for a 7th Birthday

Hello!  Drip, drip, drip...what's that sound??  It's heaven!  Well, not really, but close enough!  It's the sound of snow on our roof melting and dripping to the ground....yea!  I can't tell you how good it feels to see the sun...it's so bright right now...even though it's only 38 degrees outside.  My mood is much brighter too!  :-)  Hope everyone is enjoying their day!

Today I'm sharing a shaped (yes, another!!) birthday card I made for a classmate of my twins.  I thought I'd use my Birthday Bash cartridge for the occasion...imagine that!  :-)  I got a kick out of this sheep...blowing a noisemaker...how funny!  And it's really a perfect match since the birthday girl is a really funny child too....I think she'll like this.  The image in the handbook has the number '2', but I hid that cut with my Gypsy and pop dotted up the '7' instead.  I thought the striped paper and googly eyes would liven her up a bit...what do you think?...good choice?

Recipe
Sheep from Cricut Birthday Bash; welded into a shaped card with my Gypsy; cut all layers
'7' and shadow from Birthday Bash font
Striped paper - Basic Grey Gypsy paper pad
Textured cardstock - DCWV Brights stack
All other cardstock - Recollections
EK Success dimensionals to pop up the '7'
Cat's Eye chalk ink
Black Creative Memories marker for stitching
White Gelly Roll pen for doodling
Googly eyes

I'm entering this card into three challenges:
Crazy for Cricut - It's Dina's 1st challenge...check it out....make any kind of card as long as it includes a Cricut cut.
Fantabulous Cricut: Challenge Me Monday #49 - Shaped Card - Create a shaped card; something other than a square or rectangle.

Have a great day!
