My first ever stencil to blend and use. A dream and very easy. My only querp is that some of the fine details in the stencil bent on the first use even though I went light and used a very fine brush and light touch. Maybe thicker stencil material would help with the bending. I also noticed that the foil plate does not exactly match the stencil on the left hand side so will have to adjust the blending next time to peeter off so it wont show. All in all, am delighted. I have already ordered the Golden days hot foil and stencil from my local store. LOVE ALTENEW products!
