Lynn McAuley personalized this baby card with the Alphabet Train digital stamps set. She made the train cars small (about 1" tall for the Z-O-E letters) because she wanted the train to fit across the card, a standard 5.5" x 4.25" size. To make her card bright and sassy, she chose Lime Rickey paper from BasicGrey as the starting point for her warm color palette. The top panel of the card front was embossed with a Cuttlebug Spots & Dots embossing folder, which coordinates well with the patterned panel at the bottom. The digital stamps were printed on White Georgia Pacific cardstock. They were colored with Prismacolor pencils blended with odorless mineral spirits. She used a marker to draw the string that ties the train cars together. Visit Lynn's blog for more details and to see more of her paper crafts: Confessions of a Left-Brained Stamper.
