There was a building in Milwaukee called Sydney HIH. Before it was recently torn down, this 130 year old building conglomeration housed many different things, like art studios, punk rock club, organic food restaurant, a gay nightclub etc. You name it, it's been that. My card reminds me of that building. You can look it up on Google if you like.
I used the Splash Ink for the sky, sponged the clouds with Gesso, and fussy cut (not really that fussy, I wasn't all that careful) all the little buildings out of scrap dp. I discovered I use more cool colors than warm when it comes to dp. I know I need a sentiment, I couldn't find one that worked. But I will eventually. My card is approx. 4x4 square.
This was so much fun; I haven't created in a week because of the stress of my 2 year old granddaughter having a seizure on Monday. The neurologist can't explain it but the results of the eeg show nothing seriously wrong. That is such good news!!!!! I so needed to make something fun.

Awesome card! I so totally forgot about this building. Betty's
Bead Bank once occupied a large portion of the first floor. That was an amazing place! Thanks for posting this.
