As you know, this week we have been featuring our new fabulous release over on the Imaginisce blog, "Animal Crackers"! I promised you a little more fun with the line, and can't wait to share it with you!!!
I thought this line was just perfect for a cute little animal crackers train (Kaisercraft)!
I scored the Engine's tires for texture, used my favorite I-Top to create my wheels, and isn't it fun with the variety of sizes? I used a scallop punch to take a "bite" out of one of the peanuts.
The window frames and curtains are pop dotted with foam dots, and the smokestack and car wheels are dry embossed.
I used black tulle for the curtains on the "Come One Come All" stage.
My biggest go-to tool for this was Imaginise's fabulous new D-Stress!
I gave it a total workout and what a joy! It gets into each of the slots, helps sand away any paint or nooks to create the absolute perfect fit! Oh, and if you forget to punch your hole, no worries, you can gently push this through and it sands it right out for you ~ voila! I seriously think that every crafter is going to fall in LOVE with this tool!!!
Do not forget to make sure you are a follower here and on the Imaginisce blog to qualify to win!
p.s. I will share more details shots on this when the weather cooperates here in MN!
