A coworker wanted a card for her grandson's first birthday but wanted a Michigan State theme. I stamped the trains from Choo Choo in versamark and embossed in green, cut out and glued to base. On the base, I used the cloud template in ballet blue. The wheels are embossed in black and raised with foam tape with glorious green brads in the middle. Liquid pearls on the dots and crystal lacquer on the windows. Balloons are brads. The "for you" is cut out and raised with foam tape. I drew the border with Signo pen, the #1 and balloon strings.
Go MSU!!!!

This is very creative and a great card for a child! I love all the details -the neat wheels, the brads on the engine, the balloons, the signo pen border, and of coarse, the attention to the Michigan State colors.

Wow! The details are something else I'm so surprised to see only a few samples made with this sweet set. Your card is stunning. I might need to try to duplicate it so I can see all the effects up close. Thanks for the idea and the details used to make it. The liquid pearls are so nice I'm going to need to go out and find some. Again, Wow!
