Football Birthday Wishes

My God-daughter is turning 17...crazy! She is an amazing gal...and the first female on her high school football team! Way to go. I used my Cricut to cut football shapes and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers. I also cut the grass (punny...lol), # 17, stem and circles with the Cricut. I am pleased how football meets floral. A great way to celebrate her! 🏈🎂🌟💙#cricutcards, @Cricut
