This is my card for cc372. Karen is our hostess and she chose more mustard, pool party and early espresso for our color palette this week.
I used a train image from the Marks Finest Papers set “train talk”.
Instead of using dp, I created a little scene by brayering the bg with pool party and more mustard inks. I sponged in the mountains with early espresso ink.
My train track is a MS fence punch and I cut the top off. I stamped my image and colored with SU markers in the challenge colors.
I did some fussy cutting and placed it on the track. Stamped a couple of pine trees, added a birthday greeting and 3 punched circles to complete my card.

Fabulous scene Mary! Great brayering and I really like the mountains with just a touch of brown at the top! Great train and what an ingenious way to use the fence die-cut!
