IC265 Plaid Skyline

Photo Details

Poster: bfinlay

For today's Inspiration Challenge we browsed the minimalist French website Neest - my card is inspired by several items, one being the black, natural and white plaid dish towels found here:
http://www.neest.fr/product.php?id_product=24
I was also inspired by the house silhouette board found here:
http://www.neest.fr/product.php?id_product=41
I included black wire on my card for the smoke coming from the chimney's as there were several products on the website made of black wire.
I made a black skyline which was embossed with white using the SU stipple plaid bg stamp and popped up on another piece of black cut in a similar shape. The kraft bg was embossed with white dots. I added some black ribbon and white buttons to finish.
