Here is what you should have:
I started with a Bashful Blue card. Stamped the row of trees about 2” from the
bottom.
Once I had everything cut out, I sponged them black.
I put the green (4-1/4”x1”) thro my Vine Street embossing folder,
sponged it black and mounted it to the card.
Now, I do not know the parts of a train so bare with me.
Next, I cut two ¼”x1” strips of gray and glued them onto the
grass.
Then came the brown piece which I put through the Woodgrain EF
and glued it onto the grass about ¼” from the bottom of the card.
Punch out a gray piece using the word window punch, cut a wee bit
off the long edge then cut it in half. Glue
it about 1” from each edge of the card.
Cut a hitch using the modern label punch from black. Punch a circle at one end using a ¼” circle
punch, saving the circle. Glue onto the
brown using only what you need. Save the
remaining part of the modern label punch for the chimney.
Cut a strip of white about 3-3/4”x3/8” and a red piece 3-3/4”x3/4”. Attach the white to the red across the top
and set aside for later.
Cut a gray piece about 3-1/2”x1-1/8” and round the top two
corners. Draw five vertical lines with a
black marker about ½” apart. Butt this
to the top of the grass on the card.
Cut a black piece about 1-3/4”x3/4” and butt to the gray.
Stamp the number 5 then punch out using the scallop circle. Attach the scallop to a piece of post it note
and punch again so it looks like the sun.
Add to the top right hand corner of the card.
Now cut a 2-1/4” square
from Pacific Point. Round the top with a
bowl. Cut a black piece about ½”x2-1/4”. Mount to the curve and trim to match. Butt to the black piece on the card.
From Pacific Point, punch using the large oval punch. Cut in half.
Butt the straight edges to the gray.
Cut another piece of Pacific Point 1-3/8”x2-3/4” and one 2-1/2”x1/2”. Glue the smaller on to the back of the large
one. butt to the black, on top of the
oval curves.
Use the remaining black modern label piece left over from the
hitch. Punch a ¼” circle and a ¼” square
before mounting it to the card.
Now, back to the red piece that was set aside. Apply ½” black circle lights about ¼” from
each end of the red. Highlight with a
white gel pen. Add the So Saffron modern
label punch to the center and mount with the phrase. Add to card using mounts about ¾” from the
bottom of the card.
I used the large circle from the owl builder punch for the top
yellow lights and added ¼” black circles to the center.
For the head, I cut the ¼” square punch in half for the
eyebrows. Used the ½” circle, owl
builder punch and the white gel pen for the eyes. I used one corner from the curly label punch
for his smile. I glued a ½” circle in
the center of two ¾” circle punches for a guide to draw his nose and
cheeks. I gave him pink cheeks and a
white nose, going over my black marker to soften. Add mounts to the head and add to the card.
