You Fill My Thoughts

Here's my card for this week's challenge at the new Card Concept challenge blog.  I used the colors and the photo as the basis for creating a "miss you" card that I think falls somewhere between the clean and simple and clean and layered styles.

You Fill my Thoughts-designed by Lori Tecler-Inking Aloud
I used a pair of skyline dies to create the skyline at the bottom of the pink panel.  The top piece (with the windows) was cut from kraft cardstock and the bottom piece was cut from dark brown cardstock.  Teh pieces were layered on the pink panel slightly offset for a shadowy look.

Once the skyline was in place, I stamped the "you fill my thoughts" sentiment in dark brown ink above it.  A pair of fluffy cream felt clouds fill in the open space at the top of the panel.  I added a small heart embellishment over the window of one of the buildings.  It started out white, but I was able to use a Copic marker to color it pink to match the challenge color scheme.

Materials Used:
You stamp set (Simon Says Stamp); Memento Espresso Truffle ink (Tsukineko); Desert Storm cardstock (Neenah); Early Espresso cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Sweet Blush cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Die-namics Skyline Border and Solid Skyline dies (My Favorite Things); cloud dies (Lil' Inker Designs); metal heart stud embellishment (Michaels)
