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.
