Tim Holtz layering stencils are perfect for your favorite inks, paints, pastes, stains - so many ways to use them with so many paper crafting projects. Each layering stencil is designed in a tag shape with a hole at the top to keep them together and organized with a Cable Binder Ring. Use stencils with ink, paints, stains, even stamps - so versatile, so easy to use! The two "Shifter" style were designed with a nifty capability - the ability to ink in alternating colors with precision and ease. Ink with them once, then use the etched lines to accurately align the stencil for the second color.
