Not finished with this particular line of the family just yet so my visits may be a wee bit sporadic for the next week or so until I hit the usual brick wall and put the tree away in frustration!!
The red and black train is a button from Mum's box. Some time ago, when she was still able to knit, she bought a collection of fancy buttons for children's cardigans- those she didn't use were kept in the old tin - some lovely unusual ones in there which I've promised to use this year.
Think it works quite well against the blue really - I added some crystal gems in a flourish design for the smoke and it gives just a good amount of sparkle (well I think so anyway!! LOL)

Hi Viv, love the use of the train button. How did you get the back flat? I have several similar buttons and have tried to take the backs off without success!! M x
