City Lights

 Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Anything Goes!!

Here is my card for your inspiration:
My brother-in-law has lived in NY City for the last several years.  When I discovered this die set in my stash, I thought it would make the perfect birthday card for him.  I started with a white piece of cardstock and inked it up to resemble a sunset sky starting with yellow, to pink, purple, dark blue and ending with black.  Then I die cut the top die cut layer out of silver cardstock and the base layer out of black card stock.  I poked out some of the window pieces and backed the black piece with yellow cardstock so it looks like some of the lights are still on in the buildings.  Then I adhered everything together and stamped a simple sentiment to allow the scene to shine!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
