Memorial Day Train Card

Created this Memorial Day Card using Mark's Finest Papers clear Train stamp I had bought last wk. Received the stamps I bought along with Flamingos on Vacation clear stamp set I had won in a blog hop they had. Used a Studio112 clear stamp for USA sentiment. Stamped the train image & sentiment using VersaMark. Used Marvy heat tool & black embossing powder. Tried it with silver embossing powder and on white cardstock but liked the black embossed image on the dark blue the best. Card base is 4" x 4" which is just enough for adding ribbon & 2 white glitter stars I punched.

paper:
