I've had this idea in my head for a while and it didn't turn out like the picture in my head but I'm still happy with it. It came to life yesterday after I was inspired by the Maya Road facebook challenge.
The card back ground was made out of cardstock that I had used to soak up a bottle of tattered angles mist I spilled a few months ago. I don't remember the color's name. So I cut strips out of the card stock and then cut them with Simon Says falling star die. The city scape is a memory box die and I used a piece of paper from BoBunnys market collection. I used foam tape to attach the city scape to the card. I used a mini stapler to attach the ribbon trim to the bottom of the card.
The jar is from Papertrey Ink Friendship Jar stamp set and the die is also Papertrey Ink. I used a cardstock stamped jar and a vellum stamped jar that I found in my scrap stash. The stamped word dreams is from Maya Roads journal art set which I stamped on the cardstock jar. The vellum jar I ran through a Xyron sticker machine. Last minute I decided to add color to the cardstock jar so I just randomly used a few sponges that had distress ink on them to ink the jar. I randomly placed a few of stars from on the sticky side of the vellum jar and then I put the vellum jar over the cardstock jar.
Lastly I decided the card needed a sentiment so I used one from Tim Holt's Odds and Ends set. I stamped that on I piece of scrap paper I had cut with a spellbinders die.
Thanks for looking!

I have to agree with Sabrina (Cook22) on brilliant! This is so original and imaginative! The paper you used to cut the cityscape gives it so much dimension and interest and the sky, Love it! Your card is awesome!
