Like the rest of you, tomorrow's anniversary is so on my mind and, when I saw the wonderful city scape, http://riflepaperco.com/item.php?item_id=57&n=9 from Rifle Paper Co, I knew that was what I wanted to do today.
I just free drew the buildings and used liquid silver marker to put in some windows, cut it out and mounted it on night of navy that I had embossed IBB and the doves on and had pre-cut the hole for the moon. I sponged a little piece of vellum w/ kiwi and put at the base of the city scape. Peace on Earth was an afterthought but I know it's what we all long for.
Thanks, Anne for a meaningful challenge, and God bless America.

You are a true artist to be able to draw your design on your card. This is a beautiful card, and thanks for the reminder. So much to remember, so much to be grateful for.

FABULOUS card concept, message and design! Your buildings and windows are fantastic, as well as the sky with the doves of peace! I pray for peace, too.
