simon says stamp monday challenge: inspired by a song

 
 
Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Stencil It Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too!
 
This week the challenge is Inspired by a Song, and my song pick for this challenge was Empire State of Mind by Alicia Keys…I was inspired to create a Citiscape of a place where dreams come true: 
 
Cheiron - inspired by a song
I created a starry sky panel by spraying Distress Resist Spray onto a piece of Mixed Media Heavystock. Once it was dry I inked over it with Blueprint sketch Distress Oxide (the texture in person is AMAZING). I cut the buildings from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Metropolis dies and inked them with various colors of Distress Inks and added clouds and stars and the moon from the Snowglobe 2 Thinlits dies to create my starry scene. 

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

    I love this die set and I love what you’ve done with it! Such a great song inspiration and I adore the colors you used. This looks fabulous and I’d totally buy it as a purse or a skirt or something.

    Love the rainbow colours in your skyline. I have to confess, my brain immediately went to “If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere” and I’ve been humming New York New York ever since I saw your card!
