This is the first card I made for this week's Sing, Sing a Song Tickle a Teapotter Challenge, which you can find HERE.
DH was coming out with all sorts of improbably suggestions that would be hard to make a card based on, but when he discovered I had a train die, he said I just had to make "City of New Orleans". He and a friend have sung this at gigs - Rory is pretty good with the harmonica.
I followed the Triple Layer Pop-up tutorial, making the card as wide as possible to accomodate the width of the dies. I cut the cityscape from black, and the elevated track from white, coloured with Sharpies. The train is cut from silver card with a black inlay, and yellow vellum behind the windows.
The front is very simple, more of the same DP with a Scripture verse stamped on it. So simple that I'm not uploading it to the gallery, but it's posted in the challenge thread.

Wow! Your card is fabulous, Sabrina. Gorgeous bg, the flourishes remind of fanciful wisps of clouds. The triple layer pop is a new one to me and perfect for your marvelous scene, love the train and bridge. Amazing card, I've scrolled back up to look at it so many times!!!

Another awesome card Sabrina. So cool that your husband helped inspire you. The tea-potters SLAMMED this week's challenge. I've got about eleven songs all going on at the same time in my head right now.
