I had a not-yet-used card layout and an ornate white mat in my card parts drawer. Put them together and they made an adequate base for this bunch of birthday well wishers which I colored with Copics and fussy cut. The sentiment and the balloons are popped up.
Speaking of those balloons... they appear as though I might have colored them and left white highlights, or perhaps added white gel pen when, in fact, each is cut from plain old colored card stock and coated with Glossy Accents. The white highlights simply appeared in the photo. Very cool!
Moving right along... I'll be back when stamping happens. My billies/nannies and I wish you a happy day!

Hubby is Billie and I am Nannie.... haha love this Leslie, cute n cheery card.xx
This is totally adorable! And a couple of fun facts I didn't know about both genders! Have a great week!
Oh this make me smile! How fun! Such expressions on their faces too - You coloured them to perfection and as always picked the perfect papers and die cuts to created a wonderful card!
Very cool, Leslie! I'd say things are more than "adequate!" :) I hope stamping happens soon.
Hahahahaha!!!!!! Oh my goodness!!! this image is hilarious Leslie, I recognized the Arts Impressions style right away.
Love it, perfect for both genders, even for teens, but whoever receives it, I'm sure they will get a kick out of it, such funny faces of these critters.
Love the pattern paper too and that sentiment is just perfect.
Thank you for sharing.
XO
How cool that the white highlight just appeared on the baloons. You have so many fun whimsical stamps. This is so much fun with that sentiment. Goats are fun to watch especially the babies.
So fun and delightful and I am sure any gal would love to get this card. Sure does make one smile.
I love those goats. Fab card.
Haha this is fabulous!! I have looked at this set before because those goats look just like my brother LOL....super fun that you made it girlie!! Those balloons look pretty cool white the white that showed up in your picture!! You enabled ME to shop CC after your apron card below...then the same day my order came they had a sale 50 to 70% off, I put some in my shopping cart but never sent it, my goodness I need to QUIT, I counted and have 111 of those dies..yikes! However Sizzix had a HUGE sale and of course I fell for it...sigh!!
so cute. Good quote with it. Have a great day

Oh my, love this card Leslie, makes me smile! I never knew that about goats, but hey I think your right, this can go for either gals or guys! The sentiment is perfect, and love your balloons, very cool how the photo picked up the highlight. As always your image is beautifully coloured, and nice to have something already to go in your parts drawer! Just looking at their faces, they crack me up! So cute Leslie, a fun card anyone would appreciate receiving!
I’m a nannie, but wouldn’t mind being a Billie occasionally when I need to be a bit more assertive. Your Old Goat card is fantastic, Leslie! Our neighbors have goats and they are crazy funny! Your background paper is gorgeous, so pretty with the colorful border. Leave it to Leslie, the master colorist, to have a camera do the highlights in your balloon! Wishing you a great week. Hugs, de
Everyday I walk by 2 goats with horns and beards..Now after reading about your goats I am wondering if they are boys or girls? They both love to be scratched between their horns:-) TFS your beautifully colored goats and more feminine embellishments. One of your girlfriends will love this card:-) Hugs..Nancy
OMG this is FABULOUS and just perfect for man or woman!! Great thinking ... I'll have to look up this stamp set! What fun that the lighting put just the right highlight on the balloons ... (you should have taken credit ... no one would have known since you are such a color expert! ... I would have though YOU did it ... for sure!!) Awesome card my friend and fabulous inspiration (which I can use right about now). Hugs & Happy Day!
This is the best stamp set... I can see myself using it in so many different ways... You really made the best use of it too!!!!
Love the whole look of your card!!!
I just love how we learn something new every day I did not know all those facts about goats, glad you were able to use it for both genders :) works perfectly with all your feminine touches to the card, so fun and they are too cute! How very cool the highlights you got from using the glossy accents on your balloons, that worked out great!!
Wow! I love this card. The colorful background and then your die-cut frame. You have awesome fussy cut talent with those cute goats. Love the added balloons!!! Photo magic indeed! Picture perfect!!!
What a cute card! I didn't know that about the horns and beards. I love the sentiment as well! I think that's pretty neat about the highlights and the lighting! I love the faces - they look like they're not sure they want to be another year older! Ha!
I just love this card! The goats and sentiment make me kind of giddy. The balloons look amazing with the shine, and the whole scene makes me happy! I always learn from you, Leslie. I white die cut in my mind would not fit with the goats - nor would the balloons - but these elements are terrific together a la Leslie.
I hope this sentiment holds true! hahhahahahahaha I love how all your elements came together for this darling girl card! I didn't know all this about goats! :D
Laughing so hard that I'm falling out of my chair! Funny sentiment. Great image. Love the card.
I did not know that both sexes of goats have horns and beards! YOu taught me something new today. This is a funny and cute card, and I also love how the glossy accents created those white highlights when you took the picture.
