Art-C Groove Tool with Stencils

To test my new Art-C Groove Tool with its brush head, I started with Carolyn Dube's  Scribble-Scratch Handwriting Stencil.

I forgot to take an "after" shot of the canvas right after the stencil had been lifted -- trust me, it turned out great -- so I promptly reached for another canvas and another stencil.  This time I chose Maria McGuire's Doodle It Tornado Bloom and placed it on the second canvas, which was an artwork already in progress --

My thanks to Cindy Powell, my friend in Utah, who went to a store in her area, bought the tool for me, and shipped it here to NJ! 

Since the Art-C Groove tool also comes with a sponge head and two abrasive heads, I plan to use it later in the subtractive technique -- using a stencil, of course. 

Below is a photo of the first canvas, after it was finished.  On the final layers, several times, I re-used Carolyn's Scribble-Scratch Handwriting Stencil .
