There's a goat in the garden! These two stamp sets just seem made for each other. I love the way the kitten seems to be admiring the goat doing a happy dance.

Card Recipe

Card Base: 8.5" x 5.5" Whisper White card stock scored at 4.25".

Outside Layers: 4" x 5.25" Bumble Bee Designer Series Paper

3.75" x 5" Just Jade Designer Series Paper

Flowers and Kitten: Scraps of Whisper White card stock, colored with Smoky Slate, Shaded Spruce and Magenta Madness. The daisies are die cut from Magenta Madness.

Gate: Misty Moonlight Designer Series Paper. I chose the wood grain pattern.

Dancing Goat: Whisper White card stock, shaded with Smoky Slate and fussy cut

Banner: Scrap of Bumble Bee Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: "In-color" enamel dots

Assembly

Fold the card base. Center and glue the Bumble Bee layer down. Then center and glue the Just Jade layer down.

Stamp the flowers and kitten form "Grace's Garden" stamp set. Die cut and color.

Die cut the gate and arbor piece from "Grace's Garden". Also die cut the daisies from "Grace's Garden".

Stamp the dancing goat from the "Way to Goat" stamp set. Cut it out by hand and shade it with a Smoky Slate marker.

Die cut the smallest label from the nested label die set and stamp it with "Way to Goat".

Glue the goat and hollyhock flowers directly onto the card.

Cut small pieces from mini-dimensional edges to pop up the gate and frame the goat. Glue the kitten and daisies onto the gate piece.

Pop up the "Way to Goat" sign with mini-dimensionals so it fits over the arbor.

Attach 2 in-color enamel dots onto the sign.

On the inside stamp the sentiment of your choice. I thought "You're the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all Time)" worked perfectly.
