card from stenciling class. I used bubblegum pink and white (gina k cardstock) I used the stencil I cut out of lattice work die. used translucent embossing paste then added rock candy glitter by ranger. I cut the stenciled sheet into pieces and am adding pieces to the background on some of my cards to give more dimension. I used a border punch on the bottom of the card and cut out die cuts on the rest of it. finished it off with some wink of stella glittler pen.

GWR Class 43 023 HST seen arriving into Malvern Link Train Station heading to London Paddington.
Seen 11/10/18
Swindon built Class 120 unit clears the summit through Bathpool Park, Kidsgrove, Staffordshire on Christmas Eve 1984 whilst working a Crewe to Derby service.
This was a regular sight for many years, and was even worse than seeing a Class 24 locomotive come up the hill, Nowadays it would be a most welcome sight (both would), but I'm not sure if it's physically possible with the Class 120 unit, as I'm not sure if any were preserved.
For the record, the unit is set EP (Etches Park) 517 which was made up of 50654, 59xxx, 50742.
50654 & 50742 had actually been slightly renumbered in this shot to 53654 & 53742, this always looked odd to me, but no doubt there was a logical reason for it....somewhere along the line !
