Stencil Samples

Use a large cardboard box when stenciling with Color Mist Sprays to keep any "over spray" contained. If there is only a small area of the stencil you want to use, cover other areas of the stencil with paper to create a mask. Experiment using the stencils with inkpads and embossing powders for a variety of looks. The sprays are not just for stenciling! Try using them with everyday objects, paper punches, or stickers to create different looks.
