This is a card for this week's CHF Chick's Challenge: Quick and Easy Cards. The Thomas the Tank images look great colored in... but sometimes you need a lot of cards in a hurry! Here is a card that I made by just embossing Thomas in black detail EP and highlighting only a small portion of the image.
Don't you just love that Train punch? I found it on my latest Michaels run. :) So... if you're planning on having a Thomas the Tank birthday and you need 20+ invitations, embossing the image might be a good option for you.

ReplyDeleteThis card is adorable! I especially love the train punch. My little boy is only 10 months old so he isn't into trains yet but I am sure he will be soon. =0)
ReplyDeleteI love the card ~ I'm a fellow papercrafter and happened upon your blog. I was blown away, how did you find or come to such a close and solid relationship with HIM?
ReplyDeleteI love how this came out! I think that punch along the top makes it look really complex... when it wasn't! Love that!
