STEAMPUNK CHRISTMAS CARD FOR A FELLAH!

Good morning fellow bloggers and friends - I have my second Steampunky Christmas card to share with you today.  Truth is I've just remembered it 'cos I had a diddy parcel of watch cogs, hands (duh - the watch variety) and springs etc yesterday and they made me think of my Steampunk look Christmas Trees.  This card was a request from my ex-colleague for his son and another one that stressed me out totally even though, once I had started it, everything came together!

Here it is for you to check it out.

I thought you might like to see a close up of the Christmas tree.

Both Adam and Jemma loved their Steampunk cards according to their dad - so that was a big 'phew' from me!

I know this isn't a Christmassy picture but I felt it would look OK once I had put some holly and the tree on it.  This image is a lovely one and you can have it either pre-coloured or outline.  I'm afraid, like the one for his sister, I chose the coloured image purely to save some time!

Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to check out my cards, as always, if you have the time to leave a comment I really am grateful to you.

 I hope you were OK yesterday if you had the same storm we had, it seems that there were loads of people who suffered it and as I told Christine Harrop I couldn't believe the size of the raindrops - they were more like golf balls!   It was so noisy around here as well, I checked on Blossom and she was asleep with her paw over her nose, Donny was out probably in his 'Palace' and poor old Colin was so frightened he rolled himself up inside his leaf home!  LOL!

I'm off now and will leave you with a big hug from me!  Please take care of yourselves.
