The scene has Trees in the background, fences in front of the Trees & a Train in the foreground. Chalk used is from Stamp N Plus. My fav color in this is Blitzy that gives the Trees an Autumn sparkle look (not easily seen in this photo). Stamps are from Mark's Finest Papers, Stampabilities & Docerela Creations. Used Tim Holtz Paper Distresser. Used Kraft americana cardstock as base of card. Punched a scallop for the sentiment tag. Stamped "Happy Birthday" sentiment on the tag. Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink black soot on the edges of the scallop to give it a train puff of smoke look. Added some birthday/celebrate ribbon.
