Christmas Card With a Train

Hello friends!  I hope all of you are making time for yourself.  It is very important to take care of ourselves.  I managed to take a 1.5 mile walk today, before it got too hot.  I hope someday to be able to walk longer; but I have been increasing it gradually.  

I love creating Christmas cards; but I am always behind on getting them done before Dec.  Lol!   These train scenes are so pretty; with lots of gorgeous colors.  I found this fabulous glitter design paper in my stash; which matched my card perfectly.

Christmas Card Using Train Scene

Hello friends!  How are you?  I hope you are finding time for yourself during this busy season.  Happy Holidays to those who celebrate Christmas and/or New Years.  I live too far away from my family to celebrate with anyone; so it will be very quiet again this year.  

I created this card for a Dear friend of mine.  I used this gorgeous train image from Wonders Artist on Etsy.  It is considered clipart; but it is still fun to create cards with them.  I am having some issues with the smell from my Markers bothering me.  I have been limiting my coloring for now; and only coloring once in a while.  I love to color; so it is very hard for me to limit my coloring.  I still have to create; so I am doing the next best thing.  I see a lot of cards using these types of images; so that is what gave me the idea to try them.
