    I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone explain that stencils are actually beveled cuts!! Wow-that makes a lot of sense as to why your media sometimes bleeds underneath the cut, even when being super careful. Thanks so much!!

    France ... I recently watched an interview you did a few years ago where you discussed your accident and how you got into mixed media. What a lovely, talented and inspiring lady you are. You are so talented and make everything you do look so easy. You are a great teacher. Watching your videos is somehow soothing ... love your voice. Thank you so much for sharing.

I wanted to thank you for all you have shared and taught throughout the years, your work is really beautiful and inspiring. This video was really an eye opener for me, like an eureka moment I thought “of course!” and know I know a bit more and will be able to use my stencils in a more efficient way. Thank you again, be well.

    Oh this was great and so informative! Now I have to go back and check the fronts and backs of my stencils!!
    My first learning hurdle with stencils was to not have a heavy hand with how much product I use!! Investing in the little daubers has helped me a lot (for me they've had better help with controlling how much paint I'm picking up than makeup sponges).

    I like to use 2 shades of one colour (1st & 2nd generation stamping) on stencils & add a silhouette. Very pleasing results.
    I will mark my stencils as you recommended! Gr8 tips. Happy 2023!

    Doesn't' the backside go on the surface? So is it smooth side up or down on surface?
