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….

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!
An art journal page doesn’t have to happen all at once. Truly, there are no rules when it comes to art journaling and play. A few weeks ago I stenciled the heart with paint and let it be until I had a stack of PanPastels out on my counter that were whispering to me.
I love playing with PanPastels because they are so forgiving. That means no pressure to make it perfect since it is all blendable. You’ll see what I mean in the video…and you know there will be an Oops in there that turned out to be just what I needed…
To seal the PanPastels so they don’t smear, I use the Gelli Plate to apply a coat of gel medium. You can see how I do that in February’s Colorful Gelli Print Party.
