Whatever floats yer goat!

How much funnier can a goat get!!  I love Laurie's imagination and she's on fire with this digi image - which you can find at Doodle Pantry right now!

I created this card for The Sweet Stop: SSS172 - Sketch with a spin and a prize.  The spin was to use punches and/or die cuts.  I used my threading water punch for the scalloped trim.

I had a lot of fun with this digi.  I coloured it with my copics and tried out a new technique of making the balloon look a little transparent by showing the balloon behind it.  I think it turned out really neat.  I also made the balloons 3D and curved the top layer to really make the look round.  Then I glossed them up.  This card has also been made for Dutch Dare Card Challenges (#178 Furry Friends) Not content with a little goat on my card, I had to make him FURRY.  Yep he has a little furry "goatee" on his chin and a little white furry tail!!
You can see the fur a little easier here.  I used some Sparkly Fluff for the fur.  You may also be able to see the gloss on the balloons.  I wanted to give them some shine and the gloss really brings out the colours.
