This is for Allison's terrific sketch. I went with a masculine look using a classic locomotive. I left the engine uncolored and then coordinated it with chevron embossing & striped paper. The panel was matted on black and then on a Smokey Slate card base. I left off the sentiment until I use it. It could be birthday, thinking of you, congratulations, get well, etc.. It's one of those nice cards to have on hand for when it is needed. Hope you can play along with the challenge. TFL

This just popped out of the gallery for me, Diane ~ the classic image is wonderful surrounded by the red framing and that striped dsp is perfect contrasted with the diagonal striped embossing. I think it's the beautiful color combination and perfect framing that just drew me in - favorited!
