Greetings! A special shout out to my newest follower! I so appreciate every one of my followers. My post today is for the latest challenge over at Make My Monday where the theme this week is to create a project around a Blue and Brown color scheme. I began by marbling the card base with Chipped Sapphire and Frayed Burlap Distress Paint and softening the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The background reminds me of steam coming from the top of a steam locomotive. I decided to stamp this gorgeous train by Sam Poole, distressed the edges with more VP DI and matted the train with corrugated cardboard. The sentiment and gauge are also by Sam Poole. I wanted my card to tell a story and so I chose these two images by Crafty Individuals. Are the man and woman traveling together? Are they saying a bittersweet good-bye as one of them embarks upon a new life far away? Are they strangers that fate has brought together for an unknown destiny? Some vintage dark blue seam binding, several metal cog wheels by Idea-ology and Copper Liquid Pearls completes my card. Thanks so much for dropping by. Yvonne

A wonderful collage card, great images.
Hi Yvonne, I love it! I love the idea of creating a story, I imagine they have just met and are to face an adventure as strangers, later becoming romantically involved. I love your washed blue smoky background. Great stamps too. Thanks for sharing with us at MMM, and for your wonderful continued support. Caz
This is such a great male vintage design! You did a great job playing with inks to make the background!

Love this card, too, Yvonne, yet it is quite different from your Mother's Day card!! You are full of surprises, Girl! This one is so full of intrique, as well as strong color elements and images! Well constructed for a masterful (if not downright mysterious) result!! Hugs! Kay
