Apple No. 1 - Blending

Blending with a stencil brush but will the line ever go away???

Apple No. 1 - Let the Mistakes Begin!!!

Line going across the fabric became very pronounced once I started applying the Shiva Paintstiks (oil bars) to the surface.  Click on the pic to see the line better.  Suggestions on getting rid of it???

The culprit that caused the line, masking tape on the vinyl, someday I'll learn to look at my surface and make sure there's no tape attached! You can see the line going directly across the fabric, follows the tape beautifully.

Now the twenty million dollar question, do I incorporate the line some how or start over?  The line travels across the top third of the apple.
