Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Thinking of You Card using Tim Holtz's Vault Christmas Magic Dies

We are officially into November and are starting out the month with a "Thinking of You" theme for our Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.  We're also featuring Tim Holtz products.

I made a card using some great Tim Holtz dies and stamps.  I started with the cityscape cut-outs made with Tim Holtz's Vault Christmas Magic die set.  I cut out two skylines, then flipped one over so they'd look a little different from each other.  I stamped words and numbers onto my building silhouettes.

Next I added some paint and cut up one of the skylines into smaller sections.

I made the background of the card by cutting a file-folder shape out of Distress Kraft Heavystock and cut the shapes out using the Specimen die set.  I painted on the background, then scribbled with Distress Watercolor Pencils.  I stenciled on some dots, too.

All that was left was to assemble!  I glued on the buildings then typed out the sentiment on a typewriter, cut it out, and attached it to the card with Tim Holtz Cello Stickers.  I outlined the edges of the card with a black Sharpie.
