Vintage Steam Train Topper
This kit features a card topper and 4 labels included in the kit. One is blank so you can use any saying you would like. The sayings on the other labels are Happy Birthday, Happy Father's Day and Thinking Of You. This is very quick and easy to make.
Perfect to use when you need a last minute card for anyone who loves trains.

I am always on the look -out for very special looking male Birthday card designs and I couldn’t let this wonderful design by Deloris pass me by without making it into a bright welcoming celebratory card.
I printed the sheet supplied twice onto the same A4 white 120gsm white card as I wanted to use the silver frame style surround as part of the insert and the very central image as decoupage on the topper.
The black card measures 28 x 15.75cm and is scored and folded before I have prepared the topper.
To complete the topper I used the second copy to cut out the main element and using D.S. tape attached it to the 15 x 13cm orange/red backing sheet 0.5cm down from the top edge.
I then used a silver metallic pen to edge the backing sheet, and used a white peel off fine line strip to attach onto the orange backing sheet around the perimeter of the main image leaving a very small margin of the colour of the backing sheet showing between the edge and the main image.
I then used silver decorative peel of strips around the 4 sides of the main image and covered the original horizontal lines in the same manner.
I used the main image I had saved to edge all 4 sides with a dark blue metallic pen before using D.S. padded tape to attach it to the topper.
I then used padded D.S. tape to attach the topper to the card front. I added the extra embellishments of fine line sliver peel off strips to form the appearance of a double frame.
I used the sentiment to mount onto orange and black backing sheets and attached it using padded D.S. small squares.
To complete the insert, I have used, on the left hand side, a silver satin finished backing sheet cut to size.
I have then chosen a verse from the free list to print and attach behind the frame I had retained previously from the small image copy, and then used D.S. tape to attach it in place.
I am very happy with the professional finished look I have been able to achieve so easily and quickly. I will keep this card and be able to make it many more times.
Thank You Deloris, I am sending you a virtual hug for your many designs I have used this year and wish you well for the festive season.
