Apply an even layer of low
tack adhesive spray to one side
of your stencil.

Place stencil firmly onto the
cardstock. Load ink onto the
blender brush and apply in a
circular motion, using more
pressure in the center, and less as
you blend the ink out.

Gently peel back your stencil
to reveal your pattern. Repeat on
opposing corner of your cardstock.

On this page, I’m telling a very
specific story about Halloween.
Specific stories act like a zoom
lens, zeroing in on the details
from a particular event or topic.
The story of my bee costume,
which has been my go-to outfit
since my early 20s, is truly a
legend in the Zielske family.
The photo is from 2010, but
the story is as current as ever.
It’s a Halloween classic!
