CCCB 17

♥♥♥ ♥♥♥

City Crafter's challenge this week is hearts, and our city is San Francisco! As in, I left my heart there !

Now, this is one of the world's great cities, but sunny skies and warm weather, well not so much.
I used gray for the sky, and sparkles for the gray water, and a swirly SCAL cut for waves. (I probably should have included some gray and white stripes for those Alcatraz prisoners, I just realized that now.) The red is a nod to Chinatown. My grandfather lived in SF, and was an Asian importer, and spent a lot of time eating good food in Chinatown.

Had a lot of fun making this. I just love the way Kirsty always manages to get cities involved in her challenges over at CCCB.
