I started by doing a watercolor using Distress paint and stains straight out of the dauber bottle. Ran the stains and white paint across the paper, then when it was fully covered, misted with water and used my water pen to smooth the colors. This was my second attempt. The first time I tried to just leave white space for the skyline, but it bled. Laying down the white, acted as a resist. Dried with my heat gun and stamped. I think this works fine for a masculine card.

Great technique on the background, Priscilla, and one of my favorite silhouette images. Beautiful card!
