At first glance this might not look like it has layers but there are many. There is the base and then the sky, the rolling hills, the trees, the frame, the train (the train is three layers alone!), the smoke, and even the *brads & sprockets* are double layers of silver cardstock. This is for my three-year-old nephew who loves trains.

Isn't it wonderful how little boys love trains? He will adore this! The EF is fabulous, and I wish I could see IRL all those layers....three for the train alone!! Great job, TFS!

I like your card. You put alot of thought into this card. I'm amazed at all the diecuts you used to make the scene. The background embossed looks like train wheels.Tfs
