Way to Goat spinner card

I wanted to make a spinner card and was going through my stamps looking for an image to spin when I came across the Way to Goat stamp set. I think it looks like this goat is dancing so it was perfect for a spinner. Then I started looking for sentiments, and realized the perfect sentiment were right in the same stamp set. This card is so easy to make and with a sale on designer paper the entire month of October it really makes this card perfect. I chose not to color him in but just do some gray shadows following the artists lines. I will post below the products used and step by step instructions. All products used are available on my online store.
