Full details
The Tim Holtz Gradient Hex Stencil (THS117) is designed for crafters looking to add unique texture and imagery to their projects with inks, paints, and pastes. Its primary benefit is the versatility it offers for layering and creating imperfect, artistic effects. A minor consideration is that the stencil is sold individually, and binder rings for organization are purchased separately.

Troubleshooting
Ink bleeding under the stencil
Ensure the stencil is held firmly in place. Use a slightly drier blending tool or apply less pressure. Consider using a stencil adhesive spray for better seal.
Uneven application of medium
Check for clumpy medium or an uneven surface on your applicator. Ensure the stencil is clean and flat against the project surface.
Stencil marking from repeated use
