This was a super fun challenge but really pushed me to figure out what direction I took my card. Aurora, IL is known as the city of lights and I had no stamps with lights. Then I went looking for a free image with lights that I could use and found no great images. Of course I am only 40 miles from the largest city in Illinois and we are the second largest city. So I went that direction and then using a die cut from a friend (Jan - Precious Kitty, Thanks Jan) was able to get the lights element.
I did a great Ombre for the sunlight BG with 5 different distress inks. Then I cut apart two layers of the city and mounted at different heights and added extra layers of dimensionals to the top two layers of the city.
Thanks for looking!

Those lighted buildings look fabulous..........isn't a city skyline at night glorious? Well done, Lisa.

Yeah, Aurora, IL!! I'm not exactly sure where that is, but I know it's not very far from me - Wauconda, IL. We aren't that far from the BIG city, but the traffic makes it seem like we are. I love your card. At first I was thinking maybe you are from New York or something - and maybe that's part of why you love shoes. That was my mind thinking... Thanks for sharing!! :>)

What a great sky and those buildings are so cool! I thought you were from Chicago for some reason! Anyway, the cityscape is really pretty with the lights in all the windows! Love the beautiful colors!
