I like your background, and that it is lighter under the train. Adorable train and plane. Very cute card. The pandemic has mess with many timelines and activities. You finished card is great and personal.
This is such a creative and fun card! How clever to use scraps and adapt what you had to hand, your design looks delightful! I love the bright colours and cute die-cuts. I am sure that your personal and unique card will be much appreciated!
I finished this card the day after my nephew’s first birthday. Thanks to the pandemic, his party was canceled, and I procrastinated. It has been so long since I’ve made this type of background, I forgot I could use the other half of the torn sheet I used to mask off the hills to mask off the sky. Sigh. If I hadn’t been so late with this card, I would have remade the background, but . . .
The train tracks were made with a stencil that came from I don’t know where. It had three wonky lines and a bunch of other little images and shapes. I masked off one of the lines and had my train tracks. OK. I used a marker to connect the tracks.
