Our guest of honor at the Teaparty this week is Anthony, a 14 year old with a rare connective tissue disease who is feeling, well rather disconnected.
Stamped the train in Whisper White on black and added a few copper highlights. Used my craft tweezers to apply random dots for the stars and added more Pearl-Ex, and a bit of violet Pearl Ex in the smoke plume. Matted on a dot-embossed piece of copper CS, and that to gear-embossed white CS. Mounted all to a black card. Stamped and embossed the sentiment and cut with Nestie. Added the sprockets with glue dots.
Thank you all so much for looking, and if you can find the time to connect with Anthony I'm sure that he would be grateful. Have a peaceful day.

Marie, what a fabulous card, I love the metallics and cogs. It looks great for a teen boy. I've already sent Anthony a card, so please excuse me if I don't join in. I know his mother's birthday is coming up this week, and I'm sure that this teaparty will be a wonderful "birthday present" for her, seeing her son receive happy mail.

WOW this is really cool! I'm a big fan of copper and I love how you used it on this. Also the embossing designs you chose for this are perfect as are the gear embellishments. Wonderful card Marie!
