Let's try tracing a stencil

Honestly, this technique never occurred to me.  But I know I'll use it again.  A word of caution:  pencils tend to leave shavings behind and can smear (ugh!).  I found that a large, fluffy brush was just the thing to keep this from happening.

Ingredients:  Tim Holtz Stars stencil, Prismacolor pencils, white & black card stock, Studio 490 'Art Comforts' stamp set, Jet Black Archival Ink, Tim Holtz/Sizzix mini pinking on-the-edge die, black Micron marker
