Less is More #163 Masking or stencilling

I finally got my hands on the Tim Holtz spritzer, and was happily surprised that my Promarkers fit in it - so far I've only seen it demoed with Copics and they have a smaller barrel.

Sain vihdoin käsiini Tim Holtzin spritzerin, ja olin iloisesti yllättynyt, että siihen mahtui myös Promarkerit. Tässäpä siis kortti spritzerillä ja Promarkereilla Less is More -haasteeseen. Putsasin sabluunan käsidesipyyhkeillä, koska Promarkerit eivät vedellä lähde irti, alkoholipohjaisia kun ovat. Huomasin myös, että pystyin kontrolloimaan ruiskujälkeä paremmin kun pidin vasemmalla kädellä kiinni kynästä ja oikealla ruiskutin - muuten nokka tuntui puristuksen voimasta hyppivän minne sattui.

Less is More 163 theme "Masking or stecilling" came almost as ordered, so here is a card made with the spritzer, 3 shades of Promarkers and a stencil from Memory Box. I picked the Promarker colors to fit the enamel dots from Teresa Collins. 

Since the Promarkers are alchohol based, just water will not clean the stencil. I used hand sanitizer wipes, which worked out great. I also found that I could control the placement of the spray pattern better, if I actually held on to the pen with my left hand while spritzing with my right - otherwise the spray tended to go where ever it pleased.

Promarker colors: Pastel Green, Pastel Pink and Pastel Yellow
Stencil: Memory Box Texture Flourish (Style 88519)
