Happy St. Patrick's Day to Ewe Card

 
This week over at the Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge, our twist is to SHOW US SOME GREEN! Just use some green on your card if you want to add the twist. Otherwise, you can always enter a project that's anything goes! Hope you can join us!
This card started with a 5X7 inch white card that I embossed with a Cuttlebug shamrock embossing folder. Then I splattered some green Twinkling H2O watercolor on it to finish the background.
For the image, I used a digi from this month's sponsor Bugaboo.
You can find all their great digis at http://www.bugaboostamps.com/
After importing my digi and sentiment into my Silhouette Design studio software, I sized it up along with the accompanying sentiment and traced my sheep so I could do a print and cut. I also added a cut file to the sentiment so I could print and cut it as well.
I colored my sheep with Copic and MEXPY markers and added some white liquid appliqué to make his wool puffy. Then I colored over the sentiment with a green Copic marker and die cut some "grass" for my sheep to stand on using a Tim Holtz Sizzix die.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
