It's Tuesday and time to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week my teammates and I are spotlighting stencils. I love and use stencils all the time so this was not a stretch assignment. I created a sign to decorate the house at Halloween time and used stencils, stamps, paints, Copics, and die-cuts.
Here it is!

Notes:
- Use the back of the STAY-tion when you don't need the ruled lines, which can rub off, especially if you try to clean the surface with Purell, alcohol, or a baby-wipe.
- It's fun to switch heads, bodies, and other parts of stamped images. It increases the versatility of your stamps.
- The Fran-tage Embossing Enamels combine different colors and metallics to create a really cool look.
