Choo Choo

This is another adorable set, Choo Choo, that is available in the Occasions Mini Catalog. I don't even have any little boys anymore, but I couldn't resist this set. The railroad track was created using the coordinating Right on Track Wheel. This makes it so easy to make the track as long as you want. How cute would it be to make your own party decorations and wheel the train tracks all around a plain table cloth and then stamp the train cars all over in bright colors.

I used Brilliant Blue, Real Red, and Summer Sun. I sponged the background first; the sky with blue, and the ground with Close to Cocoa. Then I wheeled the tracks with Basic Black. I hand cut each train piece and used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up off the tracks. Here is the clever part. I made the little smoke puffs with the Trio Flower Punch...one punch...three puffs of smoke! I used Stampin' Dimensionals on them as well. The sentiment is from the stamp set On Your Birthday. I used my Stampin' Write Markers to color directly on my stamp to get both the Brilliant Blue and Real Red color to stamp at the same time.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and see me!
