That's Crafty Masks and Stencils Challenge

thatscraftychallenges.blogspot.com
This was a real challenge for me, I have some texture paste and only a couple of masks/stencils, but I have never used them on cards before.  I started with the Tim Holtz Rays Stencil on the top half of my Kraft card.  I used some texture paste and coloured some of the rays with a Spectrum Noir pen.
I then used a mask on the bottom half of the card which I coloured with Tim Holtz distress inks.  This didn't really work as well as I was hoping so I used the same mask moved slightly and dabbed my embossing ink pad over then covered in Wow embossing powder and set with my heat gun.  I wanted it to look like water and was quite pleased with the result.  I cut out the tops of the houses from the paper and stuck to the card.
