Rainbow Lady's Challenge #202 - On the Street where you Live

I don't live on a street up here in bonny Scotland, in the middle of a field is a better description!
For my 8x8 card I have used a stencil by Imagination Crafts called The Village.  The sunset background is created with  PanPastels and has been stencilled using Black Soot Distress Inks.  Mounted onto black card and then onto a scrapbook paper from I know not where.
I tried using black PanPastel through the stencil, on my first attempt, but the result was disappointing as it was not sharp enough.  Trial and error is the watchword as I experiment  and find more uses for them.  The guy who invented these should have a knighthood!
I should also like to enter this card into the Craft a Scene challenge - Silhouettes.
Thanks for stopping by and do feel free to leave a comment - I appreciate them all.
