Metropolis Hello

Here’s my card for the current Paper Smooches Sparks Cool Shades color challenge. I used the colors, plus a neutral gray, to create this card featuring a simple 3-D scene.

The scene’s made with the Metropolis set. I stamped one of the building images on gray cardstock and cut it out, then filled in the windows with some Glossy Accents for a glass-like look. I stamped the building a second time, this time directly on the aqua card base and outlined the stamped image with darker aqua markers to get a shadowy look. The building’s set inside the outline with dimensional dots.

I used a strip of striped paper tape to make a road underneath the building. The set’s car image is added to the road with more dimensional dots. I used die cut felt pieces to make a sun and cloud for the sky. A yellow baker’s twine threaded button gives the sun a whimsical look. I stamped the “hello” sentiment from the Chit Chat set underneath the road in orange ink to complete the card.
