TJ Inkspirations: Howl-O-Ween Stencil Omitting

Remember when we used to create a mask over stamped images when adding color around them? Well today's video shows how to use a stencil, tacked down with Pixie Spray, along with (teeny-tiny blending brushes to get designs in the little areas around an image without masking.  Today we are Stencil Omitting. (Hmmmm. Kind of sounds like a crime, but its not!) The video today uses Ink Blending Brushes with IZINK Dye Inks, Pixie Spray and a Stencil to create a great backdrop for the wonderful Howl-O-Ween stamp that was released this month. Here is the finished piece from the video:  Howl-O-Ween   Ready for the video? Howl-O-Ween Stencil Omitting About today's products: Howl-O-Ween_ Set of 2 Grunge Dots Stencil Pixie Spray is a light-tack stencil adhesive that will change the way you create with stencils. You can create beautiful, crisp stencil projects without painter's tape. Pixie Spray The 2" x 2" Aladine IZINK Ink Pads are lovely little inks have a beautiful foam pad, and at $2.99 they are priced right, too.  All of the inks are available individually, of course, but if you are a get-it-all kind of person, you might want all 20 of the inks for just $49.99 - 15% off! Aladine IZINK Dye Inks  I blend these inks with Ink Blending Brushes in the video - also new to the TJ Store. They are, by far, the easiest and best way I have ever blended ink. We have the orignal black handled brushes ($24.95), and now we have pretty Rose Gold Handles ($27.95 - 'cause sometimes we just need pretty things!), too!
