Football Birthday Cake and Card

My oldest son recently turned 7.  It is hard to believe he is that old already!  He wanted a football birthday cake so I ran with that idea for his card too.  Here is the card I made.
I used files from ScrappyDew's Football Extras as well as the football from the SCAL library.  I made a scalloped edge on the card to accommodate the seven helmets.  I attempted to get the helmet colors correct for the different teams, but I was informed that a couple of them weren't quite right LOL ;)
The logos on the helmets were just printed off a photo on the internet and then I used my Epiphany Crafts round 14 tool to add the epoxy sticker to them.  I popped up every other one using foam tape.  The football is also on foam tape and I embossed it with a tiny circles embossing folder, but it is hard to see in the picture.  I used brown chalk ink on all of the layers.
For the cake, I simply cut down a circle cake into a football shape.  I frosted it with chocolate buttercream frosting and it turned out quite tasty!
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
