Blue Birthday Train

Hello, Gemma here today sharing a card made with the Birthday Train stamp set. This stamp set is an add-on to the Valentine Train stamp set, which has the train engine and track.

I stamped out images from the Birthday Train and Valentine Train stamp sets, then coloured them with copic markers. I kept the colour palette to blues, oranges and greys, with the addition of brown for the cake. I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out.

Copic colours

• Engine & carriages: B91-97, C1-7, B000-00
• Track & connectors: N3-5
• Clouds: N0-1
• Cake & presents: YR14-16, Y13-17, B91-95, E31-34

To create a background, I die cut some Stitched Strips from three shades of blue card. I used some washi tape to join the pieces together, then adhered them to a mini slimline card base, leaving a little white space.

I adhered the train track on the card with liquid glue, then the train images with some foam tape.

For the sentiment, I embossed in blue glitter embossing powder the large hooray word from the Birthday Train stamp set. This word die has a coordinating die, and I added extra layers for dimension.

I then embossed in white on blue card an additional sentiment from the same stamp set. I used a Sentiment Strip die to cut it out, then added to the card with foam tape to finish.
