I got this stamp from online at Stampnmadness.com I found it to be perfect, as I am an engineer on the Walt Disney World railroad, so Mickey is my boss (read my signature). The guy whose wife died not too long ago finally came back to work, and I wanted to give him a card to let him know he was missed, so this stamp seemed perfect. I stamped the background with versamark and the tracks onto the old sage shadow paper. The ribbon is some ribbon I got from Walmart. I cut it so that it had overlap and taped it to the back of the cardstock. I had to punch holes for Mickey Mouse eyelets the put them in through the ribbon. I stamped the stamp onto ultrasmooth white and used sharpie markers and some colored pencils for the coloring. I mounted this on not quite navy paper and matted around it. I used my small swivel knife to cut out the very small openings on the cow catcher at the front of the train and the opening between the stack and the cab window. As a side note, when I gave him the card, he told me later that his very first thought and the one he had had about 3 times since getting it was that he wanted to show Teresa (his wife)..but then he remembered he couldn't. He said she always enjoyed my cards so much (I sent her a few get well ones after she was diagnosed with cancer). I had to give him a big hug at that point, I didn't know what else to say. :-(
