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.
Supplies Used
- Trio of Houses
- Dylusions Spray Inks

I love it, especially the reverse image. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t even use a stencil as it should be, but using the reverse image. However, I have not used the regular image and the reverse image on the same print, so will have to have a go at that. I love that image from stencil girl and you use of it!
I love houses and this stencil is wonderful. The video was terrific and of course, all that color you love (me too!)
Your work is always so amazing. I wouldn’t think of 1/2 the things you do. So a big ((((hug)))) and Thank You. Blessings, Janet PPF
