Peachy Keen Cow Problem

I had a problem with the Peachy Keen critter set (the cow one) not fitting right on the cow that was cut to the size it said.  It looked weird so I had to come up with another solution as to how to use the stamp on the cow.  I wound up just using the eyes which really look cute.  Here is my tutorial for how I did it and would appreciate any suggestions as to how else to do it or if I was using the critter stamp wrong.  Thanks!
