Beautiful World

Happy New Year crafters!

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:
