Forest Path layering Stencils, set of 6 stencils

This stencil set is used to create a Forest Path scene. The finished scene measures 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches. This size can be used to create a standard A6 card (4.1 by 5.8 inches) or trimmed down slightly to fit a standard US cards size of 4.25 by 5.5 inches. 

You can view a video of how to use these stencils here on my You Tube channel:

Highly detailed designs, for best results use soft brushes and stamping inks. I cut these stencils myself in house and so please allow an extra few days for delivery. You may find a small amount of 'tack' on the reverse of these stencils when you first receive them, the making process involves using sticky carrier sheets. It will come off easily when you wash them, but I like to leave it on for the first couple of used as it helps the stencil stay put while i practice the new image.

These stencils themselves are each A5 size - which is 5.8 by 8.3 inches in size (148 by 210 mm) and are made from Mylar plastic. There are 6 stencils in this set.

They are semi opaque and you can see through them to position them exactly where you want. They also feature positioning guides, 3 small holes in 3 of the corners and one small triangle in the top right hand corner, as well as numbering, so that you can always be sure to have them the right way round.

The set comes packed with a useful leaflet detailing how to use the stencils and a colouring guide so that you can achieve the finished scene in our photos - after that I want to see you do some experimenting! 

Very easily cleaned with baby wipes or water and a little soap if necessary. They are perfect for creating backgrounds and focal points. 

We design detailed stencils and some of them can be quite delicate so take care when handling.

Use soft brushes to colour the open spaces and achieve complex patterns by layering, using in sequence or stencilling the same design again in a different position. See the pics for ideas.

Sponges may be used but you should use an up and down daubing motion for best results, dragging a sponge across a detailed stencil could result in damage to the stencil.
