The mini hinged sign was quickly transformed into a chalkboard with FolkArt’s Chalkboard paint.

Video tutorial letting go of control with a the trio of houses stencil and spray inks by Carolyn Dube

Spray inks have a mind of their own so I can never control exactly what will happen.  Letting go of that control allows me to get out of my own way and just play!

All the juicy spray inks run where they want to run, letting colors mix and mingle giving me a happy surprise every time I lift the stencil.

Stenciling and Spray Ink Technique Video

This quick video shows how I used the Trio of Houses stencil and Dylusion’s spray inks along with a very special secret ingredient to get this look.  Okay, not a secret if I put it in a video…and if it comes right out of the sink….

Watch  Letting Go of Control with Spray Inks and a Stencil on YouTube.

As a bonus, using up every last drop of ink gave me this wonderful mess that will become the background of an art journal page.

That Venetian stencil can do more than what you see!   Of course, it is awesome just as it is but it can be so much more than that!   There are wonderful elements inside these buildings that can be customized and transformed to fit your play.  Check out the video and I’ll show you how!

Add a stripe of color and pattern anywhere you want.

It most certainly can be as long as you want and as wide as you want!
