This is my card for today's Clean and Simple challenge (CAS49): to cut it out. I also used the sketch given in CAS39.
I stamped this cute train engine (a retired image from The Angel Company) on white cardstock and then--surprise, surprise--I cut out around it!! Then popped it up on dimensionals.
For the panel on the right, I cut up an old (destined to be recycled) AAA road map as my DP and adhered it to a rectangle of (also soon to be recycled) piece of chipboard--the backing of a used up notepad.
I fished out some string from my gardening bag (the kind you use to lay out a straight row for planting seeds) to use as my fiber at the top, and looped on an alphabet spiral clip: W, the first initial of my uncle, for whom this (birthday) card will be.
Thanks for looking!!
Emily
