I'm not really into steam punk so I didn't want to invest in stamps and dies that I would get very little use from. However, when I saw these Kanban toppers I thought it might be a compromise.

This is the easel card open
It was quite difficult to photograph because the light was reflecting off the gold.
The base card is black cardstock and I matted the backing paper with gold mirri card and the topper with black card. The sentiment is a Craftwork Cards circle sentiment.

I will probably add "40" to this for my nephew's milestone birthday in a few weeks. He is travelling on business at the moment so it is quite apt. There are another two or three toppers so you can expect another couple of cards at some stage in the future.
Hope you all have a good day and fit in some crafting.

Good Morning Christine,
Like you I am not into Steam Punk but you know something I really like this card.
It is not as Grungy as some I have seen, I think that`s what puts me off. This is certainly very apt for the occasion, your Nephew will love it
Have a Great Day

Hi Christine,

hi I was also blog hopping & im so glad i did i am goin to look out for some female steam punk stuff as i think it would suit my daughter for her birthday
Hi Sue, thanks for joining me. I also got some female toppers.I have to agree with Patricia that it is the grunginess of steam punk that puts me off. As my friend Jenny L says, my stuff is much more classic, but I can step out of the box when the occasion demands. Christine x

Look at you going all Steampunk on us. Love it. So nicely laid out and lots of fabulous cogs to embellish.

Hi Christine - missed this yesterday so am back today. Think it's a really good idea to do as you have and, instead of buying loads of stuff to try new things, try some toppers etc first. I love this card and your design is brilliant. I think this will be very well received!!!!!
Hugs to you Sue Pxxx

appreciate it.
