What do you use for the moon mask I tried card and i get a ring around it, which looks rubbish LOL, and what do you stick it down with, I tried stick and spray but then that stuck it fast to my design after a few mins, also I have your brayer speedball and I can't get a good coverage of ink onto it, mine just picks bits up here and there not smooth like your's?

Thank you for a fabulous 2 hours on Hochanda yesterday.<br />As for me, mostly I'm a stamper, and getting braver after two retreats and nearly of a year of my periodic blogging. I have some stencils, and use them quite a bit, but not as much as my stamps.<br />I love the Groovi system, but to date, I have made a conscious decision not to invest in a whole new system. The product is fabulous, great fun, and super relaxing, but I'm resisting for now.<br />Stamps, now those I cannot resist :-)<br />Thanks for asking.

I even went and got the groovie and have used it but I find I have to be 'in the mood' to do so as it's quite time consuming. So for me it's stamps, brayer & geli plate followed by stencils then groovi. Taped the show but still haven't had time to watch so am looking forward to it having read all the other comments (bring on the brayer I say).Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01462140351704843693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-88900904828259848102015-12-07T19:11:33.261+00:002015-12-07T19:11:33.261+00:00Would be interested to know if you had any problem...Would be interested to know if you had any problems taking tools on a flight?

Ive never used a brayer (would love to but a bit chicken!!) but like the idea of backgrounds and then solid stamping. Groovi has taken over a bit but the card you did for the step by step is perfect for christmas cards to pop in the post (still have loads to do!!). Set the record button for yesterdays show but it only recorded the first hour...how disappointing!! Looked for repeats but didnt seem to be any on :-(.

I'm also a stencil club member, but apart from using the stencils on the Gelli plates and with Grunge paste, don't really use them to their absolute capacity and really need more tuition and guidance as to how to use them properly. I love watching the Groovi goodies and may get into these one day, but want to master the stamping and stencilling first :-) Thank you so much for inspiring me; my art and craft room has grown considerably, filled with creativity that I just love to share. Love and best wishes. Alison.<br /> AussieAlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180225017584588496noreply@blogger.com
