But I admit I am lazy and I wanted to crank out something easy and quick, not having to take the time to make a pattern, but still make it look thoughtful.
So I went to work riffling through all my old Stampin' Up DPs, that I've been hoarding for eons, and found the perfect shirt. I've made many train cards for my FIL and I don't have a huge inventory of train images but thanks to Stampin' Up I do have a few those too.
I decided to put a new twist on a vintage set. I didn't want to bling it up so I placed a dab of Crystal Effects on the light. I used Pendant Punch to get me started on the knot. I used dimensionals at the top of the knot and tie so that it would be a little raised up. And I used mini brads for the buttons.
I think Bill is gonna know I had him in mind when I created this little gem. TFL

Oh wow! This is fabulous. Love how you stamped the train on the tie. The shirt card is great and the stamped tie makes it even better. The paper is excellent for a shirt card. Very nicely done! Into my favs. Please keep sharing your awesome artwork with us! TFS
