hello! from Seattle

I found a font the other day that got me pretty excited.  Each letter in the Cityscape font reflects an image of a landmark, or a famous skyline. When I saw the Space Needle, I was thrilled! I could make a quick note card with it.

I gave my Silhouette Cameo a break and made today's card solely with Adobe Photoshop and my printer. No Silhouette Studio or Make-the-Cut was used. The card is 100% printed but 200% fun to make.

Cityscape is a cool idea for a font and while I was happy that I could use it for a Seattle card, I was bummed that I couldn't make out what cities many of the letters were supposed to represent. Facebook Fan Becky Dopp made a few good guesses. What about you? Can you tell what cities are reflected in each letter?

You can download the Cityscape font from HERE.

    That S is perfect for you :)
    Great idea for a card, and would be great on the scrapbook page of our day trip there last summer!

    Did you try to send the original creator of the font a message asking him?

      Good question, TonyaKaye! I did think about that but then decided against it. If I can't make out what city the letter represents, I wouldn't use that letter anyway.
