Serendipity Stamps Challenge #29

http://serendipitystampschallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/

Hi all, we have a new challenge over at Serendipity Stamps Challenge this month, and for March we would like to see you use stitching or faux stitching on your creations.

 I made a bit of a boo boo in that I forgot the stitches! Oops, sorry everybody, I got the stamps correct :-)

I have made a birthday card for my Father-in-Law. He loves steam trains, and this image is perfect for him.


I coloured the image 'Train Engine' with colour pencils, and mat and layered with some plain card and patterned paper from Webster's Pages. I added Dad to the front  of the card, and kept it simple.


Inside I stamped Happy Birthday in Tuxedo Black.


Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline

This is a beautiful card for your dad,Pauline. You did a wonderful job on the coloring ...not sure I could pull that off. Great choice of papers and layout. For some reason I alway think of Jeanne when I see this card...
Happy to know I am not the only one who make a mistake or two....:) it's stunning as is!

I really like this image (and that's why I recently purchased it) but I have not made a card with it yet...but you have inspired me.
