My Grandson will be 2 yrs old Fri.. Bought the Circus Train set to make his card. He LOVES animals and trains. In order to use all the cars I needed to make a 1/2 sheet card. Train was colored with markers and cut out. I hand drew the track. Had to put it on a curve to make all cars fit. I sponged Gable Green in grass area and stamped one of the flower stamps from Watercolor Minis using Pretty In Pink. I sponged sky area with Bashful Blue. I made a stencil of the 2 cutting it out using the Cuttle Bug alphabet die "You're Not The Boss Of Me". Ended up using a makeup sponge to stencil the 2 and edge card using Brilliant Blue ink. I really don't care to make 1/2 sheet cards.

I'm getting ready to make a train card for my grandson, and I saw yours. I'm going to have do some casing here. I love how you did the tracks and made the hill to deal with the space. TFS linda
