My oldest grandson is turning 6 and is wanting trains as part of his birthday celebration so I went looking for some train images. I found these full colour ones on CLKER !! They are a good marriage between realistic and cute!! I also found the landscape there which worked really well to create a background for my card. I placed one on the left and flipped the next one horizontally and put it on the right. Perfect!! I laser printed the greeting and the landscape in proper relation to each other and the train cars on the same piece of white cardstock. I watercoloured the background and greeting and fussy cut the train cars and glued them between the two. I added a length of black cording below the cars to create a connection between all the pieces like they would be in a real train. I mounted this element to a blue card front and added three little hand cut puffy clouds which I sponged with blue and mounted with 3D foam tape!!! I am really happy with how this card turned out!!!
