Silver Train Birthday Card

I hardly had anytime to do anything today because my little girl is sick, but I did manage to stamp a super quick challenge card.  Today's Splitcoast Color Challenge colors were Kraft, Not Quite Navy and Baja Blue - just perfect for the masculine birthday card I need on Thursday.  [Note: my husband just informed me that the ribbon and button make it too girly - looks like I'll be making a more manly version in the morning!]

I broke open Happiness is a Journey stamp set, which I'm ashamed to say, I haven't used.  I bought it six months ago and I haven't made one card with it yet - yikes!  The train was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed in silver.  The baja blue c/stock was run through the Big Shot in an embossing folder and swiped with night of navy ink.
