I made this card for the Teapot tickle challenge where we send cards to one another once a month! Such a fun challenge Denise, "Wat-er Load of Fun!" It also fits the Misti Monthly July 2020 Challenge: "Not an A2."
I used my new goat stamp set for the CAS challenge this week, so now I was able to use it again for my Tickle card! This goat definitely knows how to have fun!
I was looking through my "small" STASH of designer papers for some "water" paper. I found this 12 x 12 paper and thought it was a bit unusual, so I decided this would be the perfect scene for my goat. I cut it down and began to embellish it. I drew some waves in the water with colored pencils, then added glitter to the clouds, sun and water. I glued the background onto a piece of brown cs and onto my tall blue card.
I stamped my goat and the "splash" using my Misti and die cut them both. Then, I stamped my sentiment, also using my Misti to make sure the ink was dark and perfect. I outlined the edge with black marker. I attached them to my background using 3D pop dots. I added a google eye to my goat and Crystal Lacquer to his nose, horns and hooves. I also added Crystal Lacquer to my splash.
I thought I was done, but wanted to add something to my palm trees: glitter...coconuts...ornaments?...no...I know...a scattering of stars! Done! tfl

I love how this goat is getting out and having fun. This looks terrific Gracie and I love the scattered stars. You are going to bring lots of Teapotters smiles with this adventurous little chap. Loved your write-up too.

Beautiful paper. I like finding something that has a design that just makes the card, and this certainly does. The waves look beautiful, and I love your choice of stars to add.
