Working on the Love Train



Good morning, friends! I have a stack of custom party invitations waiting to be finished (when did Elmo take over the Sesame Street franchise??) and a headache that I think only a decaf Starbucks gingerbread latte will cure, but at least the sun is shining and my house is getting clean today.

Today's card is one of the valentines that I made for the charity auction and my etsy store (you can order them from the link on the sidebar). I bought the Choo-Choo stamp set last summer and haven't really done as much with it as I would have liked--now that I have a Stamp-a-ma-jig, I can do more with it! I had this idea, one night as I was trying to fall asleep, of hearts on the cargo car, and the rest of the card came together from there! I did a little sponging on the hearts to give them some dimension (that was messy!) and some sponging around the edges of the main white panel just for added detail. I like it because I think it will work well for boys or girls.

Supplies:
Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Whisper white cs
Choo-Choo and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets
Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Real Red ink
15/16" satin chocolate chip ribbon (avail on SU! clearance rack; retired)
Scallop oval, large oval, 3 hearts punches
