I just used your LOVE Stencil .Had bleeding on last line.I must redo.I will be using the original black background to give a shaded effect. LOVE. I'm still not sure why the last line bled . The you tube video suggested using a foam dauber brushs(I did this time)oops? .I've always used a stencil brush w/ bristles .Maybe just too much paint on the last line.Thanks for your HELPFUL tips.🙂 I will think about them as I redo the sign.👍
