Train Shaped Father's Day Card

Created this Train Shaped Father's Day Card using shades of blue. Used Carousel Lite Cricut cartridge for Train. Had made the same train shape card Jan this yr as a birthday card so I had it saved on my Gypsy. Used the same idea of the puff of smoke for the sentiment.

Punched a scallop for sentiment. Stamped sentiment on scallop punch & added to train as puff as smoke. Added twine to the train wheels. Found that Zig 2 way glue with Chisel Tip is wonderful for gluing down twine. Added brads to center of train wheels. Used a piece of plastic wrap from a Tim Holtz Distress Ink pkg as clear plastic for window area. Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink around the edges. Added a 2nd piece of train image on inside to hide the tape holding the plastic wrap in place & to cover up the brad metal.






















brads: 3 - center of train wheels
clear item: plastic wrap from a Tim Holtz Distress Ink
Cricut cartridge: Carousel Lite 4 1/2" Train & Gypsy
glue: Zig 2 way glue with Chisel Tip - the Chisel Tip is wonderful for gluing on twine
ink: Memento Bahama Blue
paper: 3 shades of blue
punch: Fiskars scallop punch
stamp: studio g clear stamp 
twine: blue/white - on train wheels
