Whale of a birthday card with Free DS Explore file

Finally getting around to sharing the fun birthday card I made for my son this year using my new Cricut Explore.  I'm loving that new machine! 

I used the Brooklyn Iron On cartridge for the whales and changed the detail cut line to a writing line using a silver pen.  I added a couple of googly eyes (yeah, I've got a thing for them) and some glitter gel to the spout.  The paper is our retired Tommy pack - love that map paper for nautical cards!  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from one of our CTMH carts (you can always replace it with another sentiment if you don't have that cart).

Here is the cut file using Design Studio for the Explore if you'd like to make this fun card!
