I've started to look around for stencils that could be used with additives, and was looking at the airbrush stencils, I don't own any as I never got into airbrushing, just wondered if anyone had tried using them with the additive or mica powders?

Most airbrush stencils are re-usable so they don't stick and have to be held on by hand ... It would be very tricky to get a perfect result using them with the additives. If you can get stick on stencils then no problem using them.

How about using the peel offs that's crafters use for scrapbooking and card making. Both Jeni and fingernailfixer now have videos on you tube using them xx

Thing is, you need to burnish and that would tend move or smear the design ... Even just lifting the stencil could mar the design. It can be done with great care but would take more time with possibly a marred result. Not worth it. Better to get something that will give a guaranteed result for your efforts.
Think I've found the perfect solution, starform stickers, STARFORM STICKERS
Apparently they work really well with Shellac and additives

Just found this thread. Thank you! I have been looking for a UK site. May I ask which are the best to use? I liked the Diamond lines as it looked like fishnet but that's out of stock. Don't know what else to try. Help me spend some money lol xx

Fee any local craft store will have them or good old eBay and amazon. Sometimes I helps to actually see the design up close so you can see the actual size so a trip to the craft store is the best way to go in my opinion x

I was wondering if they could be used with shellac or vinylux, I have used the nail delights ones, they were good but I like the designs of the starforms better.
I have visions of them bleeding if they aren't sticky enough.
edit - some look really big, has anyone got any recommendations?

Instead of burnishing the additives in have you tried applying them sparingly with a makeup sponge? That way the stencil wouldn't move because you'd be dabbing and pressing, not brushing just an idea!

just an idea!Xxx
