ALL ABOARD THE CHRISTMAS TRAIN

Have you ever gone on a trip on a train?  How about the Christmas train?  I had fun colouring this cheerful train for today’s card, it was magic!

The stamp set I used is called Christmas Magic and I bought it mainly because of this cheerful train engine.  It is perfect for putting your Stampin’ Write Markers to use and I did.  The trees in the background are also a part of this set so you can create the perfect picture.  My intent was to show the train riding the rails through the winter forest.

I also made use of Stampin’ Up’s! Heat & Stick powder to add the silver glitter on the smoke.  It’s easy to apply and sticks really well.  Just add a little heat from the Heat Tool and then quickly sprinkle the glitter.  Then though it up with a little more heat and presto!
