[@PearBlossomPress]

These are fantastic! I think I need to try this again, but with more Pixie Spray. My results were not nearly as nice as yours 😍😍😍

[@amyswares]

Thanks so much for watching! Can't wait to see what you create

[@cmwHisArtist]

Can you paint ON the stencils and use them as a stamp? Or lift off paint through them?

[@amyswares]

You could probably use it as a monopint stamp with the residual paint left on the stencil but it would be spottier I would imagine. Thanks for watching

[@chelseahartweg2938]

I love this! Does the pixie spray leave any residue on the paper? Like if I wanted to go over again with another stencil will I have to worry about it resisting the paint?

[@amyswares]

It is possible that it could leave some behind especially if your can is a little bit older and getting kind of chunky. If so then I would just give it a minute to make sure it's fully dry and then take an adhesive eraser over your paper to remove it. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

[@victoriagardner5144]

I love the backgrounds that these stencils made. You are so creative. Also what is the name of the music you used on this video. I absolutely love it too!

[@amyswares]

You are so kind, I'm so glad you like it. I'm sorry I don't know about the music, it just came with my software. Thanks for watching!
