Hello, friends! As usual, I like to start the week with something fun, so today I'm sharing my husband's birthday card. I used an Art Impressions set called Old Goat. Very fun and perfect for my own old goat.
I colored once again with Tombow markers and no water. This one was more of a struggle because the watercolor paper I used is not so great. I've been trying to use it up for backgrounds and die cuts, but thought I'd try it with the Tombows. It doesn't matter what coloring medium you're using, the paper makes all the difference. Use good paper!
It's been a busy card making month for me and I'm not done yet. It's a big month for birthdays, fall, cards, and Halloween... and coming up is something from Power Poppy that Marcella's been working on diligently, barely coming up for air... the team will be sharing soon. Busy, busy!
You all take care, stay safe, enjoy life however you can. We'll come back here and do this again soon!
Stamps: Art Impressions Old Goat Paper: Poor quality watercolor paper that is almost impossible to blend inks on, Prima Julie Nutting designer paper Ink: Palette Noir Coloring: Tombow water-based markers (no water) Other: Hero Arts Wood Frame, Memory Box Banner Parade, Spellbinders Classic Ovals Small

What a fun and delightful card Leslie! Love this Old Goat, makes me smile. Love everything about this, fabulous Tombow colouring, the wooden frame, the banner, sentiment (love this) and great choice for your designer paper. You have some of the best 'fun' images, I think I need to expand my selection. I'm sure Rich loved this. Thanks for sharing, a great way to start my day! A rainy dreary next couple of days, so hopefully some card making will happen. Have a wonderful day Leslie, take care.
Whoa, I am glad to be getting here early for this party! Something fun indeed! As with all your cards, the colors caught my eye first. Love the blues on this old goat and I'm glad you kept the DSP in the mix. This card is totally delightful!
Thanks for my first "giggle" of the day! - This card is so cute and fun. I'm glad you left in the designer paper and I love the ribbon die on the right side of the card, it goes perfectly with the goat image.
Love your card,a great fun image and fabulous papers.xxx
Woot, Woot!!! This is just the best reason to have a huge grin upon my face today, my friend, with all the "shtuff" going on, we need reasons to smile.
Let me wish Rich a very happy birthday and many more, I don't know if his birthday is today or if it already went by, you might have waited to share his card so he wouldn't see it ahead of time.
But I love it, what a delightful image, love the colors and I'm glad you decided to use the pattern paper, it frames this image and all the details beautifully.
The sentiment is hilarious, my friend, I'bet Rich got a kick out of this card.
Thank you for sharing.
Stay healthy and safe.
XO

that certainly is a Party on a Card :)
I love your old goat and so perfect as a fun card for hubby. I'm sure it will bring a big smile to his face.
It's great! Love the image and the ribbon banner on the side goes perfectly with it. Great coloring. I've debated about trying Tombow markers but have resisted since I own all these Copic markers. I'm sure Rich will get a kick (Hahaha) out of it.
You gave me a smile for the day. We had some goats when we lived on a farm and they are so much fun especially when they are youngsters. Love your sense of humor.
LOL 'hope your old goat has the sense of humor you do lol) This is fabulous and I actually bought this set not all the long ago and need to whip up a couple cards using it (thanks for inspiration!) Your coloring is always Spot On and love the wood grain frame ... made it more manly! WELL DONE! Thanks for the smile!
Great sense of humour and fabulous card love the fun image and sentiment -great die-cut ribbon flourish too

A fun and hilarious card that I am sure your old goat will love. The coloring is fantastic too. Great use oof pattern papers as well.
A perfect card for your "old goat!" LOL! It wouldn't matter what you used, Leslie - it would still be amazing!
This is so humorous...and so well-done! (I have NEVER made a card for my husband in 42 years of marriage!) I love that goat...
What a handsome "old goat", Leslie! I'm amazed at your coloring with Tombows! So awesome! This is such a fun card! Happy birthday to your Mister!
This card is great and made me laugh right off, I almost bought this set awhile back for my brother whom has a goatee just like a goat, in fact his Facebook profile picture says it all LOL! His birthday was Saturday and I bought a goat stamp (and matching dies of course) purposely for him from Stampendous...another one of my 'million' dollar cards..hah! Anyhow, your card is a hoot! Oh, and thank you so much for making me do the 'monster mash', I found some 'dancers' in my mailbox...so CUTE!!
Happy Birthday to your hubby! I love that goat such a fun card and perfect for a man.
Your card is hilarious!! I love everything about it! The goat dancing and eating the cake it just great! I'm glad you used the DSP! Good choice!
such a great image, I love how you added streamers to match the ones in the image, and you may have had a hard time coloring on that paper but from here I can't tell, love the framing of it and big happy birthday wishes to your hubby!
haha brilliant card. xx
It's fabulous!!! Beautifully done and so funny! Happy birthday to your Hubby BTW.
LOL! Funny and cute as can be!
