Stamp two copies of the Stampendous - Train Postcard image using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink in Tuxedo Black.  Colour one image using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Markers.

Cut around the foliage, cutting slightly into the frame, place the cut area on top of the  Grand Ovals Spellbinders® Nestabilities® #1

NOTE:  Spellbinders Dies are numbered from the smallest to biggest - the smallest being #1

Using the Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur Cutting Machine,  cut/emboss the second image using the Labels Eight Spellbinders® Nestabilities®.  Using the Die as a Stencil sponge around the inside edges using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink in Desert Sand and a IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Sponge Daubers™.  You can see in the photo below the white frame it leaves - such a fabulous effect.

NOTE: I have used an Easel card for my base - using the  Labels Eight Spellbinders® Nestabilities®.  You can find a tutorial for an Easel Card HERE.

Cut one edge from the Fanciful Lattice Spellbinders®  Nestabilities® Card Creator, sponge using Memento™ Dye Ink in Desert Sand and a Sponge Dauber™.   Tuck it under the raised strip on the base of the card and adhere using tape runner.

Cut one Sprightly Sprockets Shapeabilities® #2.  I have used one that I have precut and sponged using Memento™ Dye Ink in Desert Sand and a Sponge Dauber™ - adding more colour until the desired result is achieved.

Stamp a sentiment using  IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaFine™ Archival Pigment Ink in Spanish Moss.  Cut/emboss using the Classic Ovals LG Nestabilities®, sponge around the edges with the VersaFine™ Archival Pigment Ink in Spanish Moss.  Pop up onto a Fanciful Lattice Nestabilities® Card Creator tag, using foam dots.  Add the Sprightly Sprockets Shapeabilities® #2 to the right of the layered sentiment.

 

Finish by adding bling swirls and metal cogs as shown in the photo of the finished card.
