Full steam ahead!

Evening all,

Well I managed to find some inspiration today after all and I decided to get a head start on some of the male family cards I need this year. I hate making mens cards so when inspiration strikes I tend to go full steam ahead - which is rather apt given the image I've used!
The image is, of course, by Mo and just perfect for my Grandfather who is a real steam nut! not so much because of the trains but due to his engineering background. This is yet another bookcard, as part of his present is tickets for an orient express journey. Once again, I've decided to keep the image the main focus of the card and coloured him with promarkers. I mounted it onto some matt silver card and added a couple of pips from stash.

I would like to enter this card into Mo's - Anything Goes Challenge this week.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
