STEAMPUNK 'MAN' CARD

I thought I'd try out my new set of steampunk stamps (three sets in all so there is a lot of choice.....43 stamps to be exact...large and small!). I fell in love with this train so this is my first effort. The background colour is a mixture of Stormy Sky and Peeled Paint distress inks and the train itself has been embossed, as has the locomotive number. The rest is straightforward stamping. I had a go at trying to stamp and then cut out the cogs but they were too fiddly. I have a feeling that I may now be COMPELLED to purchase the Tim Holts cogs and wheels die!
