Miss You

Hi bloggers!  The City Skyline is the subject for today's card.  I used black gloss card to cut the skyline pieces.  I decided to make rows rather than layering them on top of each other just to show another look for it.  I added them on to the circle cut in white with a sparkly moon.  Next I cut continuous strips of them and layered them in the same manner across a piece of white card that was covered with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I placed them all down then coated the exposed adhesive with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and added the circle to the top.  I used the Miss You mini expression in the upper corner.  White and black gloss mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x  7 1/4" in size.

Don't forget to check back later thus afternoon as I will be doing the drawings and posting the winners for the blog launch die release!!  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue. Another day another lovely sample of your skyline die. The same thought that goes through my mind every morning is "you are so clever" so do I really need to say more ? Have a great day whatever your planning to do with it, something crafty, something beautiful I dare say. Keeping fingers crossed that I see a lot of our everyday regular names on the list of winners later. Good luck guys xxx

Very dramatic and effective. Am thinking about getting this die, after seeing your samples with it.

I do not know why but most of the pictures will not come up and the rest are only partial pictures. However I think this is one that you made on Hochanda, or was in the samples, as I am sure i have seen it before. A nice card from the bits I can see and what I remember lol.

Hi Sue. This is a fabulous card using your fabulous City Skyline dies !!! I love the modern, sophisticated design you have made using black gloss card and white glitter which I think really makes a bold statement !!! I love how you have used part of the design as the background and then raised up the circle die with the central part of the design. I think this makes such a lovely effect on your card. It is stunning !!! Thank you Sue. Lots of love from Tres X X X
