Instructions:

Shake different colors of Brusho onto White CS and wet with Spritzer. Use small wedge of Stampin’ Sponge to blend colours to create desired look. Apply Shimmer Paint as desired with sponge. Allow to totally dry. Use Tear & Tape to adhere to card base.
Die cut both the small and large town pieces using Edgelits on the smaller piece of Basic Black CS. You can cut them both at the same time by placing on opposite sides.
Adhere the shorter town piece to the larger one using Mini Dimensionals. You will need to cut a few of the Mini Dimensionals in half to fit into the smaller areas.
Adhere the layered town scene to the base of the card using SNAIL Adhesive.
Die cut the star from scrap of Copper Glimmer Paper and adhere to card using two Mini Dimensionals.
Adhere the strip of Copper Glimmer Paper to right edge of card base as shown.
Rub your Embossing Buddy over the area where you will stamp the message. Ink up sentiment using Versamark, then tap the inked stamp in Memento, then onto card base. Pour Clear Embossing Powder over image and tap off excess. Heat using Heat Tool. Be careful not to overheat and burn CS.

It is fabulous how every card you make with this technique is slightly different - so something unique for everyone!
