Hello friends, I hope you have been enjoying your weekend - they seem to fly past so quickly - don't you think? Today I have a little change of pace - a card suitable for a little boy - I created this for my Grandson, Noah, to give his cousin for his first birthday - he is slightly younger than Noah.
I love it that Spellbinders has Dies for every occasion...for this card I have used the Spellbinders Little Guy Die D-Lite - how adorable is it!? What little boy doesn't love trains, cars and trucks!? The Engine has been cut/embossed using red card stock and the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine - 6" Platform. Two trucks have been cut/embossed and the cab removed off each to create the carriages, adding adding Washi Tape across the top of each, along with some frayed burlap.
The hills have been created by cutting/embossing two A2 Curved Borders One Card Creator Etched Dies green patterned paper from my stash. These have been adhered onto blue card stock - as shown in the photo above and black/white twine added around the hills. The train and carriages have been adhered using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares. The puffs of smoke have been cut/embossed using grey card stock and glued to the sky. The clouds and sun have been cut/embossed using Celebrations Day Dreams Etched Dies. Birds have been added to complete the scene.
