I love the way this card turned out, first of all because it’s a masculine card and I honestly don’t make that many of them. Secondly, because it has a worn vintage feel to it, and my most favorite thing about this card is it reminds me of my dad. He worked on the railroad for 42 year before retiring. One of the very last days before he retired he arranged to have my kids “drive the train”. They were about 5 and 7 years old then and they loved every minute of riding in the front of the train and blowing the whistle every time the train went through an intersection. So this card will be set aside for now until I send dad his birthday wishes in February. Let’s just hope I can remember where I put it then.
I stamped the “World Map” background stamp on Very Vanilla card stock and then rubbed a sponge dauber with Soft Suede ink over the entire piece to give it the aged look. The train image is from the “Traveler” while the tickets in the lower right corner come from “That’s the Ticket”. I used the same aging technique on these pieces as well.
