Pounce frustration
This is the weekend I decided I'm finally going to try all the nifty tools I've purchased but didn't have time to figure out. Right now, I'm frustrated by the pounce pad. I'm carefully brushing the pounce over the stencil, with a long, sweeping motion, multiple times. After each sweep, I prime the pounce with more chalk. When I lift my stencil, all I have is a faint, smeared mess. I've tried longer strokes and shorter strokes with the same results. I even got mad at it, and tried "pouncing" it one time. I've tried both white and pink chalk. (I'm practicing my fmq, so it's a good opportunity to play wirh different marking methods without damaging anything "important".) I even happen to be using a stencil I bought from the Hancy people. I know it should work better than this.
