A Goat Bringing Presents - Try Stampin' on Tuesday #485

 A Goat is not usually associated with delivering presents at Christmas, but put a red scarf around his neck, a Santa hat on his head, and dangling an ornament from his mouth this Goat is all about Christmas. This Goat is friends with Rudolph.

I made this card was made for the sketch challenge with Try Stampin on Tuesday which has an optional theme of a Non Traditional Christmas.



The Goat was stamped on Whisper White card stock, coloured with Stampin Blends and fussy cut. His Christmas attire aka scarf, hat and ornament are compliments of the Christmas Moose.



The now Christmas Goat was adhered to a die cut piece of Seabreeze Spray card stock which had been  embossed with the Texture Embossing folder. Liquid Applique added around his feet make it look like he was standing on a cloud (although my intent was to create snow on the ground). This was added to the card front, at an angle, using dimensionals.   

The card base of Seaside Spray card stock base is layered first with Whisper white card stock, and then a strip of Dazzling Diamond card stock. a strip of Feels Like Frost DSP (the metallic side) and finally a smaller strip of the patterned side of the DSP.  On this smaller strip is added a 1/4" of Seaside Spray cardstock upon which is adhered a 3/8" Metallic Seaside Spray ribbon.   A bow of that ribbon is adhered below the art panel.  


 

The die cut sentiment strip is added to the left of the art piece.

Some blue adhesive gems added randomly finished the card.
