How about some happy COLOR today? I’m revisiting an old technique I once created with a single stencil – but today with floral layering stencils!
Pinkfresh Studio Stencils from left to right: Hanging Garden (which is a regular garden when upside down! double duty!), Garden Florals, and Seamless Floral Panel:

This is a technique shown before, but its totally different with layering stencils…get ready for fun!
The “seamless” floral is just that – you can create as long a strip as you like of the flower pattern! I made a couple test runs with different colors and combined strips of different ones for the card on the left below; the card on the right was made with the same stencils but with me just placing flowers where I felt like it – so you can make up your own designs!
Both of these are from the same Garden Florals set – airbrushed on the left, and on the right, pushing the Isopropyl alcohol manually through the open stencil designs.
On the right – the hanging garden – which looks like a regular garden if turned upside down. On the left, another with the Garden Florals set in airbrush. I had to cut that piece way down because, well, I had a spill. LOL. Don’t have dinner in the studio!
More stencils!
There are lots more stencil sets than just the three I bought – here are thumbnails:
More fun needed?
Perhaps check out the Copic Art Journaling class!

Awesome techniques Sandy. I love your airbrush and everything you so with.
Thank you so much for sharing, stay safe and have a wonderful week.
These are so cool
This looks like a ton of fun – and a really different technique to try. I’m wondering if a bit of Pixie Spray on the back of the stencils would help to keep the Copic inks from blowing in underneath? And the Craft Assistant – YES – mine stays out all the time. Got me some of those little makeup pads too – and they make Copic skies a treat. I’ll be trying them with stencils today… I love the way your imagination goes where no one has gone before… it’s like the Starship Enterprise!
