Sand Shaker Birthday Card

Yet another card for the Hero Arts Summer challenge. I made this card for my son who turns six next month. Can you tell I'm having fun with my Silhouette and Hero Arts stamps together? I used Hero Arts layering papers and Hero Arts Silhouette shapes (ungrouping the shapes so I could just use the outlines) for inside the shaker.

HA:
Special Day Words
Clouds
Be Happy
Celebrate All Day
Layering Paper: Poppy, Cerulean, Punch

Silhouette shapes:
