Product Information
Full details
The Tim Holtz Woodland Layering Stencil (THS071) is for crafters and mixed-media artists seeking to add rustic, textured imagery to their projects, especially those with an autumn theme. Its key benefit is the unique, imperfect layering effects achievable with inks, paints, and stains, leading to one-of-a-kind results. A minor caveat is that the full effect relies on layering multiple applications or colors.

Is the stencil flexible?

Troubleshooting
Ink bleeding under the stencil
Ensure the surface is not overly porous or saturated. Use a light mist of temporary adhesive spray on the back of the stencil to hold it in place, or use masking tape. Apply mediums with a light touch, such as dabbing rather than brushing heavily.
Uneven application of medium
Use a brayer or foam applicator to apply ink or paint evenly. Ensure the stencil is flat against the surface. If using sprays, hold the can at an appropriate distance to avoid overspray.
Stencil residue is difficult to remove
Soak the stencil in warm, soapy water for a few minutes. Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to gently scrub away residue. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized stencil cleaner.
