I was 'sorting' through a large box of bits and pieces I have been collecting and I found all sorts of interesting things. Quite a few were just leftover pieces of a decoupage project because it would have made too many layers. But there was one complete sheet that I had printed out but not touched.
It came from the La Pashe Big One CD - Volume 1 - Remember When?.
I can't resist cutting out sheets of images for decoupage as it is still such a firm favourite form of crafting so I set too....... and here is the card:.
I know why I printed it out as I was - and still am - a great fan of puffer trains - or puff puffs as my children use to call them. I live fairly close to the 'Watercress Line' in Arlesford, Hampshire, which is a privately run steam train.
The main pieces to decoupage are the bridge and the two children and the dog. I love the way the dog is also standing on tippy toe to see the train
It makes quite a large card almost a full 8" x 6". I am going to keep it in my go-to box for one of my young great-nephews. I just need to wait until the current craze for dinosaurs is over and they might like a puff puff train.

P.s. I didn't save this for my Great Nephews. I gave it to my hairdresser for her children to give to their father who is a mad keen puff puff lover.
A fantastic card Carol. I was down in Devon about 8 years ago with my mum and we took a trip out one day to the coast and there were three steam trains that went by in the space of 30 mins. It was a lovely sight.
