Q's B-day Card

My nephew's b-day is coming up soon...he loves anything that has an engine...cars...trucks...lawnmowers...tractors...and trains...choo-choos as the boys call them...we live about a block away from some tracks...love the sound of trains and planes...so the boys run out to the deck whenever they hear a train coming...and report loudly that a choo-choo is going by...this card is perfect for him...

i used always artichoke for the base and my new favorite cajun craze (i love really rust) to frame some naturals ivory on the inside...some plaid DSP with those shades and CC ink on a stamp i picked up at a yard sale...a wood button and some hemp twine completed it...had some trouble with my punch but i got the circle done okay...
