Grey Skyscrapers against a Vividly Yellow sky.

 Since I saw the Color Hues challenge I have wanted to take myself out of my colour comfort zone and use Yellow and not for flowers but it hast taken me until the day before the challenge ends to bring it all together. 

Yellow and Grey, not two colours I would put together but that is what I LOVE about Color Hues, simply 2 colours to work with and it's fab. I cut the skyscrapers in grey and cut one in black to use as a shadow image. I made two backgrounds one with watercolor paper and this one with blending two oxide inks together and adding droplets of water. The second yellow background is from a paper pad from Walmart. 

I had originally planned a rectangular card but felt I needed to minimize the yellow sky. 

Hello is an ancient rub-on sentiment from Stampin'up 

 

Finished the  inside with an oval sentiment on some of the tie-dyed paper.

I'm adding this to:

Thanks for visiting today and stay tuned another post is in the near future.

Along the Edge...........

 Hello Family, Friends and Followers!! I'm back again with another skyline themed card, I love making these sunrise/sunset backgrounds. What is better? it's another masculine birthday card for my many guy cards I need, 3 down 3 to go.  This card came about when I saw AAA Cards  Game #186 Along the Edge and optional use only die cuts. I hadn't used the slimline skyline die yet and it was the first thing I thought of, I had to look for it, funny part was it is so narrow it got stuck to the side of the plastic container it was in and I kept missing it while looking. (story of my crafting life). I am very pleased to say it is all die cuts, layers front and inside and the city skyline, the sentiment is stamped.

Although I have deemed this a guy card I'm sure any lady would be just as happy with it. 

I used a 110 pound base but lighter weight layers I'm sure if I mailed this it would cost more thought. I love these long images they work great for slimline cards. 

I'm entering this in:

AAA Cards ~~~ Game #186 Along the Edge/opt. diecuts only. 

I love that it is called a Game

Thanks for stopping by today and have a lovely weekend.
