Hi crafters! The
City Skyline Circle scene hasn't made an appearance in awhile so I thought I would share this card today. I started with the
Sunrise mask on a piece of coconut white card. I used
Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide inks through the mask. Next I used the circle and cut the shape out of the bottom of the card (actually placing the circle past the lower edge of the card). Next I cut the cityscape out of
black gloss card and glued it into place to complete the circle. I raised it for dimension and attached it back into place after adding it to a slightly longer piece of coconut white card. I added the
Congratulations mini expression to the bottom edge. White and black mats completed the card. The finished dimensions are 5 1/2" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Fabulous card, so warm and perfect for Summer :)
Morning Sue, another awesome creation with this die set, love the way the circle hangs off the bottom. Have a great day everyone. Bx
A great card for someone moving abroad, or to a new city, with a promotion. Thank you Sue, have a good day. Xxx
Hi Sue. I never get fed up of seeing your silhouette skyline samples. No bling, no flowers or bows just plain simple and effective. I say more of these silhouette dies please Sue any subject as they always give that classie upmarket look, and the background - magnificent. Sending hugs for the day xxx
Hi Sue, beautiful card this morning. Love the brightness.

Good morning Sue,
A beautiful, bright and cheerful card to start the week with. X
Love this effect and the city scape is always a winner
Hi sue,
What a bright and happy card to start the day! Very lovely.

Such a dramatic card! Thanks for the color names.
Great tip about completing the circle below the rising sun. Or, I guess for a retirement, the setting sun.
I might try this stencil behind the radiating rays of the Natalie second-to-smallest decorative die, then cut a swing card with the slightly bigger label. Who knows, it just might work.
Enjoy your entrance to the regular work week.
Best,
Donita
Lovely card, very striking.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful creation for us today, you can just feel the rays of the sun spreading out over the horizon, amazing.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Sue and all
One of the best city skyline samples you have done, and you have done lots of fabulous ones. The rising sun over the city looks so good, have to try this - reminds me of this time last year getting ready for the trip to New York then California, now I wish we had left it for another year and were looking forward to it, it was so amazing. Oh well, one day who knows ?
Hugs

Good Morning Sue. Lovely city silhouette Sue. My niece would adore this. She loves anything New York. And its her Graduation Day on Wednesday so the sentiment would suit too. We have been invited to go along and see her graduate. Such an honour for us. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Good morning Sue and all.
I love this card and will definitely have a use for it this coming August when my Grandson has his 2nd. wedding anniversary and he went to New York for his stag night. Nice to know what you are buying a die for rather than just buying because you are hooked eh?
You never fail to come up with special cards and YOU are such a special person.
Have a good week.

Hi Sue. I love this card, so much so that when I first saw it I had to get the die. I did get the background wrong though as I also got the starburst die as I didn't realise you had done it using a mask.
Lisbeth
What a fabulous card, Sue.

Good afternoon Sue,
Fabulous card. Just returned from holiday and will have to catch up on all your posts and your television shows that I had set to record while I was away.

Hi Sue, this is a brilliant card and I especially like the way you have dropped the circle rather than just replace it.
Frances
Hello Sue, this is a great vibrant card. Really stands out. Xx
Hi Sue,
Stunning card!
Thank you for sharing.
Véronique L
I love this card! I have the die and can't wait to design with it! I have a request- could you add links to your blog posts? I would love to just click to see and purchase the items? Of course I suppose the links might go to UK websites? Is there one place in the USA I can buy most or all of the products you show here?
Hello Sue,
What a wonderful way to start the week with the beautiful sun rising over the city. It always reminds me of my many trips to New York City and the Empire State Building. I love the layout on this card, its just so warm and inviting.
Have a wonderful day.
Beverly
