Happy Birthday to Ewe!

This is a card I have made for a very good friend. We used to go to College together and have managed to stay in touch for the next 23 years - gosh is it really that long???!!!!! She has two young girls as well so we still have plenty in common but hardly ever see each other. I hope she likes it.
I have used the Back to Nature CD Rom from Polka Doodles - the cute sheep. This is all 3D but my photos are unable to do it justice as usual! I have also glittered the flowers as I hope you can see here.

There was a lot of cutting out and there are some fiddly bits - like the sheeps curls but I couldn't cut any closer I'm afraid.

Despite the fact that I didn't check the challenges when I was making this card it does fit quite a few and here they are

Penny's Paper Challenge - Birthday,

Crafty Creations - Stitching (faux or real),

Tellen's Place - Birthday,

Artful Inkables - Naughty/Nice (I thought this was pretty cheeky but nice!)

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Spring time,

Paper Sundaes Glittery Spring,

One Stitch At a Time - Stitching (faux or real) - This is their first challenge so check them out.

Pile It On - Flowers, and

Bee Crafty Challenge - Stitching (faux or real plus digi).

Please let me know what you think. I really appreciate your thoughts.

Hugs

This is amazing! The scenery is so surreal, it made me forget it was a card. How cute is that? I love it. The sheep and those curls are so cute and the glitter on the flowers can be seen if you zoom in. I really love that. How cool for you and your college buddy to stay connected for so long - that's very precious. Thanks for playing along with us at Tellen's Place. ;P
