All
Aboard…
About
a year ago, I gave my husband a unique collection of video train journals from
around the world. He has always wanted to take a scenic trip by train but time
has never permitted.
When I spotted this fantastic stamp on line, I knew Jim
would love it.
To
add to my hopes of a surprise, I started a search for scenic day trips within
our area. I discovered the Agawa Canyon Tour Train which departs from Sault
Ste. Marie, Ontario, just over the bridge/border from Sault Ste. Marie,
Michigan.
(I think I surprised him.)We are now considering a fall tour trip near our
51st anniversary.
The stamp used was purchased through Buddly Crafts, Viva Dec A5 - Old Timer #100.

To achieve
the coloration for this fantastic stamp, I used Prismacolor Pencils
and did a lot of blending and burnishing. There are at least 3 shades of grey
tones for the engine and 3-4 shades of red-orange for the cab. I added a touch of
silver in the wheels and bell.
Thank you for stopping by today. Hope
you are having a fantastic day and creating wonderfully exciting cards yourself...
Till
next time…

Bless You and Yours
Wonderful job on coloring this train pic, Barb. Nice train tour; we went a number of years ago.
ReplyDeleteSure hope we get to do this one. Jim is concerned about the trains vibration ride. Ten hours is a long time if it makes him dizzy. We have a lot to think about but plenty of time.
