So here is my May challenge: dig through your old brass stencils, your CS mylar ones and any others you most likely have and give this a try. You will need one stencil that has an open area like the jar or fan I used. Don't have an open stencil? Use your open dies, a jar lid to draw around or a cookie cutter shape. Next use a second stencil. It can be any smaller patterned one. That becomes your pattern inside the larger shape.
I hope my photos make this clearer. First take the large stencil and trace the inside shape onto card stock of your choice with a good fine line pen. Remove large stencil and lay the patterned one over the drawing where you want to add the pattern. Next lay the large stencil back on top to use as a guide as you draw your patterned lines. Finally color or paint your work of art.
Any questions?
