Choo! Choo! We’re boarding the sweetest train you’ll ever see to the Doodlebugs blog today. It’s mix it up Monday and I’m excited to share my ideas for today’s post.
I was recently playing with the newest Pretty Pink Posh release, coloring this adorable Valentine Train set and brainstorming what I could add to the empty train car. I love that it’s included in the set because it immediately makes this a set for all occasions. Today I was happy to keep with the valentine theme and pull in some adorable Mama Elephant Little Agenda Bears to the mix.
I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and liquid glue to assemble it all. Then I inked up the new Pretty Pink Posh Half Hearts stencil using Lawn Fawn ballet slippers ink. After the panel was inked, I splattered it with watercolor paints and let it dry.
For assembly, I glued the panel to a white card base and added the train track to the bottom. Then I added the train with foam squares and the puffs of smoke with liquid glue. Last, I popped up my couple of bears in the sky with foam squares too. I placed the card in my MISTI and stamped a sentiment from Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strips | Valentine in a light gray ink.
For finishing touches I added black glaze pen to the bears eyes and noses and glossy accents to things like random hearts and train wheels. Not too much but a little shine here and there to go with the shimmer in the watercolor.
