Red, White, and....PINK!

Yep, that's right!  This week at Woodware USA we're getting out the February color palate.  I just got some Valentine theme stamps in the mail and I think I'm all set!  Ever since I got this train in preparation for Christmas cards, I KNEW I was going to use it for Valentine's Day cards.  I pictured all kinds of things in the train cars...so keep watching my blog...up next St. Patrick's Day!  Should I do green clovers or piles of gold???  HMMMMM...

For this card, I used two sets:  Parcel Train and my newest set called Now and Forever.  I stamped the train and sentiment with Versafine Onyx, then clear embossed.  After that, I went to town coloring the image with my Copics.  I don't always post my Copic colors but today I thought I'd "treat" you to the color palate as I really love how my design turned out and thought some may want to "copy". 

Train and Hearts:  R22, 27, 35, 59; and a little B0000 in the window
Stippling, Wheels and some parts of train:  C1, 2, 3 as my primary shading;  W1, 3 to warm it up a bit; and a little B0000 for depth. 

If you look closely, you will also see I glossed up the hearts by using some Glossy Accents and drew a few added hearts (parts) using my Copic .35 Multiliner.

I selected this cute train set called PARCEL TRAIN and paired it up with another new set called PRETTY LABELS. I used pretty labels to bind my pages together into a "train track" book...All the pages connect to create a ZIG-ZAG Fold that when open is over 48 inches long. As you can see, it's hard to take a good picture of the book in total, so I'll try to take a video of Katie showing off her book and how it works after her story is finished on the back.

Now, to continue your hop, head on over to RACHEL'S Blog. If by chance you happen to get lost, you can always find your way by visiting the Woodware USA Blog!
