Color Dare #57 - Pacifica & Sky

This very lovely Pacifica blue reminded me of a evening sky, so I set to work creating one!  I used the new Cityscapes stamp set to create my city.  All the buildings are stamped in black.  The back row was stamped across the Pacifica card, about an inch up from the bottom.  The front row was stamped on Sky cardstock, cut out, and then attached with foam tape.  Two of the buildings were cut out from Pewter glitter paper.  I stamped the buildings on the back of the paper for the shape!  The Hello, stamped in black on white cardstock, then layered on black, came from the Hello Blooms stamp set.  I drew the stars and swirls and colored in many of the windows with a Stardust Gelly Roll pen.  I added the Silver Shimmer trim border to a black cardstock panel and then mounted the blue card on top of the panel. Hope you enjoy!
