Instructions:
- You want your cardstock to be larger than you will use as your final piece.
- Lay the cardstock on a flat surface.
- Lay your stencil on top of the cardstock.
- Hold the stencil in place and gently smooth on the modeling cream – be careful not to use too much pressure or to pull upwards quickly and lift the stencil. Less smoothing is better – less chance for an error.
- Lift the stencil straight up by the corner opposite of where you are holding it in place.
- Be sure to rinse your stencil and tool immediately.
