I hummed and aahed as to what to do for mine and then I remembered that I had some diecuts from my lovely friend Marie who lives in Greece and makes the most fantastic stuff with her Silhouette (and makes fantastic stuff without it too). It was about time I did a diecut card too so I got my Grand Calibur out and cut myself a lovely big fancy square in black and mounted it on a very pale cream card. Rather surprisingly it matched perfectly to the diecut Maria had sent to me.
Now you all know what a Steampunk fan I am, well, I could not let this card go out without some cogs and wheels so thankfully I had some of those as well - all the way from Greece again. Here it is - my Mode of Transport card
I searched high and low for the stamp I have that says "Memories" as I felt it was in need of something to point out the vintage quality of the card - nope! Not a sniff of it! Thank goodness I had the sense to look at what else I had as I found this stamp with a dictionary definition of the word "Remember". Quite appropriate I thought and so there it is.
I wonder what you will come up with? You have all done us proud in the past and there have been weeks where we have had lots and lots of entries so I am hoping there are lots again with this one. Wonder if anyone will do fairies - I did think of that at one time - they have wings and wings are a mode of transport aren't they?

Fabulous, love the die cut penny farthing, it's so cool and together with the steampunk cogs, they really complement each other well.

Can't believe it's time for another challenge - think that means I've missed another one!! Love this - the penny farthing is great!
What a hero Marie is helping you to create such an original card Neet :)

Hi Neet, Love your WP name by the way. What a fabulous theme for a challenge and what a fabulous card. So glad you could find a use for the die cuts they look magnificent with the black frame and love the remember stamp !

Now black and white is a totally different take on steampunk. Isn't it always the way you can't find the stamp you want and then it will appear as if by magic a few weeks later!!
Love this idea and the challenge theme. Well what's a girl to do when it's raining so much other than catch up with some crafting! Hugs, Buttons x

fabulous design neet, love the die cuts you used from your friend pam
Love the black and white! I think it looks great with all the cogs.
It's been a while! Hope you're doing well :)
Great way to use the die cuts and they stand out so well against the dark background. Wish I could see the text but my screen is too small even on the larger version--- or is it my eyes lol
Love Chrissie xx
A very striking card!
