Step 3: Keeping the Street Map stencil in place, lay the large stencil Hexicomb on top. Carefully remove the tape from the inside and placing it along the outer edge to keep both stencils in place.

Step 4: Apply the paint Cranberry Juice only where there is no Rainy Day Paint.  Do not remove the stencils yet.

Step 5: With the stencils still in place trace around the stencils in the area painted with cranberry juice.  Once the inner section has been traced remove the Hexicomb stencil, still leaving Street Maps in place. Now trace the stenciled grey section.

Step 6: Stamp the following images on a piece of manilla paper from a Dylusions Journal in Jet Black archival ink. 

Drink Me – the hat and the bottom of the candy cane cluster. 

Heads N Tails – the owl head 

The Fancy Four – the bulldog

Step 8: Find a quote in the Bigger Back Chat Stickers. This quote comes from Black, Set 2 and reads “You’re not yourself today, I noticed the improvement immediately.” Back the quote on the same paper as you stamped the images.

Step 10: Here is another sample using the same technique with the stencils. Here it’s been traced with a white paint pen and the image has been stamped on kraft paper. Small changes, big results.
