To start us off, Country View is having an Anything goes theme challenge, easy right?
Most of the work on this card is done by the card blank, which is a Diorama by Die'sire, 8x6" when folded flat, with matching envelope. The diorama card comes with a front and a back panel which you stick together as you wish and, I haven't tried yet, but in my mind, if I fold and glue the tabs inwards I should be able to use a 6x6" card envelope although this would be thicker.
First I created an opening using square die on one of the panels, for the front of the card.
I created 3 layers of die-cut cities, gluing the New York skyline in mirror board to the back page, a London sky line to the middle and the Eiffel tower on the front. There is plenty of space in the diorama for more but I didn't have any more cities...
To frame the card I added the Diesire Create a Card - Delicate Swirls Square Overlay die cut and two of Tim Holtz/Sizzixwords from the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set - Adventure Words to finish.
A kind of Happy New Year to the world...
Here's a side view so you can see the depth of the card:
