Never thought of a card with a locomotive/train having a feminine overtone, but you've proved me wrong. The soft colors and the "drippy" lace and bow make for a lovely vintage styled card, Julie.

The lace is so unexpected with the train....just a wonderful juxtaposition!!

Fabulous card, Julie, and perfect for the HYCCT challenge. The train image shows motion, the stitching anchors the panel down, and the beautiful ribbon, bow and lace give it a feminine touch!

Stunning card with a wonderful "oldy worldy" feel to it. I now have a case of bow and lace envy - as they are just so beautiful and add to the vintage feel to the card. So nicely done.

You've turned this massive masculine locomotive into a feminine creation with the beautiful brocade piece pearls, button and satin ribbon! A real Wow card~
