Long time no see everyone! It's been a couple months since my last post, which seems to be the norm. Can't seem to find the gumption to do a whole lot these days. First Father's Day without my husband. I think there will be alot of those "firsts" this year. His birthday was the Sunday before so it's been a rough couple weeks.
I know it's a couple days past Father's Day, but I made this card about 4 wks ago and I wanted to post it ever since, but then I got sick with Covid - again!    When it rains, it pours!

This is made with Anna Griffin's Antique Train Slimline Easel Die set, so dang cute, I just love it!! Pretty much every thing on here is AG. The base and the background dies I cut with a dark grey matte metallic paper. I cut the train with 3 different color matte metallic papers, then paper pieced the blue and copper into the brown. I cut some of the blue paper to look like curtains and put them behind the windows. The smoke, stars and sentiment embellishments I pulled from another AG set, I think the Gentlemen's Study Craft Box. You could add alot more embellishments, which I've seen on other makes, but I wanted to feature the train in all it's glory. Maybe next time.





That's it for today, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
Thanks to all the challengers above for lettin' me play along.
Blessings!

Pam I am so sorry to hear of your husbands death. I can't image how difficult life must be right now. I'll be holding you in my prayers.
ALso, your card is a delight. I need to put that die on my wish list as I don't have anything like it in my collection. TFS Kathy Asper aka myasperations
