The skylines shared so far this month are all amazing, thank you so much for sharing them.
My entry is a little different, but I hope it will still qualify for the challenge. It is a three layered card of my area – Kent – which is nicknamed ‘The Garden of England’. I’ve used Canterbury Cathedral, some oast houses and cider apples to represent the hop fields and orchards, and the County’s emblem – the Invicta horse.
I cut it from black and fawn duo card with the dark side up, and got Robo to write the greeting in gel pen first, before sending it to cut. I folded it in half (ish), and then folded the front up to make three layers in alternating colours. I used sticky fixers near the fold to keep the front layer in place.
I have tried to photograph the card from the front and the side to show the folds.

I have been watching this challenge with great interest because a couple of years ago I had thought about 'doing' the Bristol skyline (I had even made a start on it!!)
I know my efforts don't either do the amazing work shown on this thread or the beauty of the buildings in this great city justice but I wanted to have a go!
I am sure many of you will recognise the bridge but there are a number of other buildings behind, which some 'locals' might appreciate (especially anyone who went to Uni in Bristol!)
A familular landscape to all "scousers". A famous landmark recognised all over the world (maybe not from my drawing though ) Such a shame our beautiful skyline is being ruined by the modern "Lego" style buildings being thrown up today. Rant over.... Hope it is useful to somebody
