If I had a time machine, the one person I would love to spend an afternoon with is Henri Matisse. My fascination with both his work and the man intensified after reading, Matisse the Master: A Life of Henri Matisse: The Conquest of Colour: 1909-1954 Every page I read mades me have more and more respect for the master of color and his not so easy journey.
The Cut Outs Inspired by Matisse stencil was inspired by how he handled a huge challenge. Later in his life, Matisse could no longer paint or sculpt due to declining health but he found a new way to create – his paper cut outs. These cut outs of organic shapes of coral and seaweed are symbols of determination and a powerful creative spirit.
These stars, like Henri Matisse, follow no one’s rules but their own! Each star has anywhere from five to nine points and a distinctly jaunty personality. Let their joyful, offbeat light shine in your play!
It’s no secret in my family that I want to live in a castle. I’ve told my kids that the little one King Ludwig built in Germany, Neuschwanstein Castle, was maybe a bit too much for me. Perhaps something smaller, but with ample towers. Needless to say that hasn’t appeared under the Christmas tree yet, but I can now stencil all the fairy tale towers I want with the Once Upon a Time stencil. It includes the 5 tower masks, the row of diminutive towers, and the tower stencil.
Fairy tales seem to have thorns and those tough situations that princesses and queens have to navigate. This briar patch of interlocking thorns and branches is the perfect pattern for any project—it can be used to evoke images of enchanted forests, fences, tumbleweeds, and more. The Trio of Thorns stencil includes a large and small version of the same pattern to give you lots of flexibility in your play.
If you look closely at this pattern, you can see large, rounded triangles connecting the smaller triangles. This shape is called the Reuleaux triangle, and it is the only shape other than a circle to have a constant width, and it can even be used as a drill bit to drill square holes! This strange, wonderful combination of circle, triangle, and square can be the perfect metaphor for the unpredictable paths we all find ourselves traveling. The twists of life’s journey where you may be heading steadily down one path and then suddenly make a sharp turn into a new direction inspired the Triangular Pathways stencil.
An episode of The Streets of San Fransisco staring Michael Douglas and Karl Malden had a kidnapping and a ransom note made with letters cut out of the newspaper. Apparently, that left a big impression on me, because ever since watching that rerun as a kid, I wanted to be a detective and solve the case of the cliched ransom note.
The hand drawn letters on the Ransom Alphabet stencil are wonderfully wonky to create playful words.
Arched Fountains was inspired by the glorious fountains of Versailles. While doing the typical whirlwind tourist type things at Louis’ little cottage, I fantasized about spending an afternoon just enjoying the fountains and soaking up the opulence of his time at Versailles.
You bet I have videos of the play with these stencils that I’ll be sharing starting tomorrow, so leave a comment, get entered to win, and stop back for the videos!

I just recently found you/your videos and am really enjoying them! Can’t wait to see the new ones as well. Very inspiring!
I did some printmaking in college and loved it. Now you’ve inspired me to begin picking it back up in some form.
The stencils you’re giving away look fun to work with and would be a great start. Thank you for the opportunity!
Love the new stencils, could do a lot with the newspaper alphabet.

I love all the new stencils but the Matisse ones are so great! I love Matisse too!
Wow your new stencils are amazing! I love how different they are from anything else I have seen. Really love the ones that have two different sizes on them, what a great idea. I kind of have a stencil addiction as they are so much fun to play with. Cannot wait to see the videos and how you use the new designs.
Using these kinds of stencils is the JOY of my life!!!

I am new too stencils and already addicted with the few I have. I love these new ones of yours and would be super excited to win them!
Thanks for the chance to win, Carolyn. Would LOVE some new stencils. It was great to meet you in person at CHA this weekend. Hope we can keep in touch. Cheers! Joanna
Wow!! Would love to add these stencils to my stash! Thanks for the chance.
These are fabulous! You are truly inspiring! Thank you for sharing your colorful journey:)
Because of you, I started buying stencils on Stencil Girl…and yes, I have some created by you. I have fallen in love with stencils and there are more on her website than I have money to buy, but when I can squeeze out some, it is the first place I go.
Whoops I posted this giveaway on my Facebook page and on Pinterest!
So, so creative. The masters certainly left their mark! Love you new stencils Carolyn,
What a “win” this would be! Stencils can “make” a mixed media piece so much more than what it would be without. The generosity of artists on Facebook and elsewhere is outstanding. Thanks for this opportunity.
Oh my goodness, you have outdone yourself! Wonderful designs. Thanks for the opportunity! And thanks for always bringing color and joy to my days (it’s been so dark and gloomy in Iowa this winter, even without much snow, so I need your videos to keep me going). 🙂
OOO so glad I am going back to work so I can buy some of these awesome stencils
Thanks for sharing
You outdid yourself Carolyn. Just when I think you can’t do better you come up with wonderful designs!!! And you get to sit next to a Michael Phelps on the plane!
Love the new stencils! Enjoyed the pic of you and Phelps on the plane. Only you would have that happen. Lol
What awesome stencils! Once Upon a Time is my favorite!
wonderful stencil collection!
Shared on FB thanks for the give away
Love ❤️ these designs, especially Matisse. Saw the Tree of Life in Rome, stunning!
Wonderful stencils again, even one would be nice to play with! I, by the way, like random.org, use it frequently. Would that help? 🙂 Also shared at FB!
Love the new stencil designs.
I love the look of these stencils and am always inspired by natural and urban landscapes
Would love to win your stencils Carolyn…..just love the size and designs of them…..
Awesome new stencils! Pinned on Pinterest.
thanks for the chance to win your new stencils look fabulous
I just ordered a lot of stencils as I am new to your products. Cannot wait to create with them. The newest items are super, too.
Just last week one of my granddaughters was over and we were drawing. She wanted me to draw a castle”…. I had a hard time because I do not know how to draw a castle. In fact I need some major drawing lessons. We continued to play and later got out some paint and stencils and did something totally different. I love having permission to play and always hope for more toys to play with!!! Carolyn you often make my day more fun. Thanks!!! Cheers
Your posts always inspire me to create! And your words make me smile. Love your new stencils and thanks for the chance to win them!
These are amazeballs!!!! Just so totally cool!!! I LOVE them!!!! 🙂
I have learned so must from watching you, that I just love stenciling. To have your new stencils will be a great joy.
Castles? Stars? Who wouldn’t wanna grab and paint! These are shaking my little artist-within….
Hi Carolyn! Finding your site has been some kind of miracle. I have wanted SO BADLY to do mixed media for ages, but didn’t know where to start. The pages are made up of so many random parts that I was totally blocked from “getting it.” Then I found your Permission to Play series, and I started cutting up a cardboard box. (Strange look from hubby.) Even laying down the gesso was fun. And it had the exact effect you intended: no one piece is so “precious” that I am worried about what to with it. Don’t like it? Paint over it and go again! The freedom is amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting me started on this journer. I can’t wait for the next video. p.s. I am sharing this page on Facebook.
Carolyn, I love, love, love the Once Upon a Time Towers. I had cut something like this out of paper awhile back as I wanted it in an art piece. Now I can have a stencil!!!! Congratulations on another 7 wonderful designs!
Love them all. Shared on FB and Pinterest and instagram.
Carolyn, I saw these stencils in the Stencil Girl newsletter this morning and my first thought was that you have outdone yourself!! Sharing on Facebook!
I just shared your giveaway on FB too! Love these!
Love, love, love these new stencils. Love as well the projects you created. What a wonderful giveaway!
Another glorious collection of your amazing stencils. I’m definitely a fan and I soecially adore the Matisse ones.

I have never worked with stencils before, but this group of designs is exactly what I would like to start with. Lines, shapes, curves, depth, everything is there.
I often wonder where the inspiration behind the stencils comes from. Thanks for sharing your stories. I can’t wait for the “play” videos. Just thinking about it makes my want to head to the craft room now. Have a fun day, I know I will.
Ummmm….yes please! There are 4 that I am absolutely in “lust” with! I will share on FB, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. Thank you for the incredible opportunity to win these. ?

What beautiful stencils! I particularly love the Matisse-inspired cutouts. Matisse is my favourite artists and his cutouts were a genius solution to his declining health. Thank you for opening the giveaway to International folks – it’s always disappointing to get excited about a giveaway and then find it doesn’t apply to those of us in faraway places like Australia!
Thanks for sharing the inspirations for your stencil designs!
Wow! Those are fantastic. Would love to win some 🙂

These stencils are exciting. Thank you for doing a give away.
If I could spend a day with anyone it would be you Carolyn Dube. Just hearing your voice, your enthusiasm, the fact that you share your art instead of acting like some who seem to feel they hold the key to the art universe is refreshing and inspiring. Do I hope to win, sure. But my point in telling you this is not to win but rather to tell you you inspire me and make me believe I can make art. And, isn’t that the point?
I love the Matisse inspired one. It would be perfect for under water paintings.
I love all you do, such an inspiration to play like a child! Would love to create w your stencils!! Much love
Love, love, love Matisse! Your stencils are amazing! Would love to win!
I too am a huge fan of Matisse’s paper cut art! And your seven new stencils are awesome! Smiles, Linda at Paper Seedlings

OMG – I love these new stencils!! When I look at one stencil I say this is the one for me…then I go to the next one and say wait wait —this is the one for me. This continues throughout your entire show and tell of new stencils. I admit it- I am a stencilocholic – I would LOVE to have your new stencils to play and share with my art club members. Thank you for sharing with us all!

A few years ago Fathom events presented a series “Exhibition on Screen” the first film was on the exhibit Matisse: Cut outs http://www.exhibitiononscreen.com/en-uk/our-films/season-2/matisse
What a wonderful idea, turning the cut outs into more of your stencils.
fingers crossed
I love these new stencils and your inspiration from Matisse, fairy tales and travel! I will be sharing this blog post with some of my mixed media friends who are not on FB.
You have outdone yourself with these new stencils again Carolyn. Each one is perfectly unique. I love the story behind each one. You are a great artist. Cheers to the new adventures…
Your work is an inspiration to me! I have a few of your stencils and I love your new ones. Thanks for the opportunity to win some. Reut
Love them all! Especially the deco style repeating patterns. ❤️️Sharing to Pinterest and Facebook
I have several of your designs from Stencil Girl, would love to try these new ones out in my mixed media pieces!
Love all you stencils and your videos also make me laugh. The new ones. Are wonderful!
Those castle stencils are too cute!! ♥♥♥ Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂 I shared two of the images on Pinterest. 🙂
What a great assortment of patterns. Would love to give them a try!
Carolyn, these are so great! I just love all of them and the are so versatile. I can see lots of ways to use each of them. Can’t wait to get my hands on them.
Yay! I finally was able to access this site…
The new designs are beautiful.
Loved the Impressions Gelli Plate Video too.
Best wishes,
Gracie Wieber
My imagination feeds my inspiration as well. I was always secretly jealous of people who could draw or paint. Mixed media gave me permission to use paint, drawing, color theory to make journal pages. A colorful play FB group really encourages me to use color always. I enjoyed your latest post.
A conversation with Matisse would be amazing. I’d also love to talk to Edvard Munch.
The Matisse stencils are amazing
Would love to win these and use them. ?
Wow these are awesome!!! I just love your multi-purpose eye in your designs.
Fabulous patterns!
I especially love the reuleaux triangles!
I love them all, looks like some very fun ones. I’d love to win them all, sharing on fb, pinterest, and google+. Tho i must say, i almost dont want to share so i have a better chance of winning lol.
I love the crayon rubbing technique. So going to try it! Thank you.
Oh, Carolyn!! You have outdone yourself with these stencils. When I saw them a few days ago, I went crazy, and put them all in my shopping cart at Stencil Girl to think on. Now I will wait to purchase them, if I don’t win the giveaway.
Love you to the moon and back!!!xoxoxo dottie lou

When I saw your new stencils in my StencilGirl newsletter, I loved them and knew I wanted them all. But when I watched your video, I almost cried from happiness–crazy, right? Such a simple technique with such dramatic results just makes me happy! I was just getting ready to order them when I saw the giveaway, so I’ll wait–just in case! Thanks for the chance to win such awesome stencils!!!
P. S. I just shared this post on Pinterest, and if I can figure out how to do it on Instagram, I’ll share there too.

Oh my! I adore all of these but I especially LOVE the alpha stencil! Great work Carolyn 🙂
Love your stencils and I love stencils also!!!!
Oh, and shared on Pinterest 😉
What a great give away! Thank you so much. I fell in love with the Matisse stencil the first time I set eyes on it. I love his cutouts. However, the trio of thorns comes as a very close second (I am an avid collector of fairy tale books). Needless to say – I simply love them all, since I a sort of a stencil addict, truth be told…..
wow!
Some really great new stencils!
thanks for chance to win
I would like to follow Henri Monet around for a week just observing his garden and how he painted it – how he saw color.
🙂 Linda
Just starting in the mixed media field and would love to add to my meagre stash
How can we choose, you are a mega Stencil Creator. I am kind of partial to the Stars and the Once Upon a Time goodies. Thanks for your inspiration.
I LOVE those stencils! I think my favorite is Arched Fountain, though they are all fantastic!
Love the new stencils !!!!!
Great collection! I would love to win these!!!
Love your work!
They all look so fun! Thanks for the chance.
Would love to have more goodies to share with our members!
Shared on personal and Warmland Calligraphers group Facebook pages
Love the stencils. Glad your class was wonderful!
Love, Love, Love the towers stencil!! My second favorite is the alphabet stencil. Cutting letters out of magazines seems like too much work to me, but this stencil would help me get funky letters onto my page without the work of cutting, putting in order, pasting, etc. I love that you make it easy to play.
Love all your stencils and especially enjoy the stories behind them.
Love these stencils!!!! Gonna also share on Facebook and Pinterest and will also Instagram and Tweet for the extra points! Would love to get those babies! I also love to hear what inspired each of the designs – always fun to have backstory!
Oh, Carolyn! I adore these! Must have. Better to win! About a month ago I found some oak leaves that reminder me of Matisse. I used the shapes to create a page in my journal. I even added a squirrel Matisse-style. See it here: http://possumpatty.blogspot.com/2016/12/how-to-nature-journal-like-henri-matisse.html Thanks! And if you visit my blog you will notice that I have a Let’s Play ColorfulJourney.com button!
Oooohhhhhhh…..!!!!!! One can never have too many stencils – and these would be a wonderful addition to those that I have. I love the geometric patterns alot and the castle turrets are a must-have! Thank you for your creativity!
Oh my! I love these stencils. thanks for a chance to win.
I’ll be saving this to pinterest!
I really like your stencils and would love to win.
My, My, My – You do Rock!!!
I’m happy that CHA was so much more than you anticipated, you deserved it!
The Gelli Plate is such an Aha moment for so many people and I can think of no one better to introduce it to newbies than you, my dear!!!
And, of course, I’d LOVE to win these new stencils, please, please, please…
Oh Carolyn,
You have done it again. Just love the Triangular Pathways stencil. I really like all of them and my mind is racing to all of the projects that I could use these with. Posted to Facebook.
Love the new stencils. Thanks so much for all the good tips and the opportunity to win this wonderful give-away!
Your new stencils are so exciting – I love the castle towers but most of all I love the Triangular Pathways stencil. I can see using it as a background and for highlights and pops of colour. My wish list at StencilGirl never seems to get shorter!
I just love your art! Thank you for the chance to win. I’m sharing on FB, Pinterest, and Instegram.
I’m so happy to be with all of you on this colorful journey! Thank you Carolyn for your colorful inspiration and for giving me the freedom to play.
everytime I think you have done it all you come up with something else! Love the castle stencil!
My thoughts, exactly! There seems to be no limit to Carolyn’s creativity. Lucky us!
Oh I would love love LOVE to these stencils ! wow! Thanks Carolyn!
Wow! those are really cool! Please let me win them. 🙂
Love the castle one and the ransom stencils. Awesome! Also watched S of SF.
I, too, am a big fan of Matisse and had the wonderful opportunity to visit his museum in Nice. France, this past summer! Your stencils are super cool and I really like the stencil rubbings that you shared in your recent YouTube video! Can’t wait to try that! Thanks for the continued inspiration!
Love your stencils. You always bring a smile to my face whenever I see anything in my inbox from you.
What a great variety pack for a new stenciler, like me!
Love the new stencils! and I’m looking forward to seeing you at Artiscape – already registered for the Pan Pastels class.
Love these stencils. They are all so different. Love the video with The crayon resist, too.
These are all wonderful! They would be so much fun to play with. Loved the back stories too.
I can’t decide which one is my favorite! I really like the strange triangle, but also like the arched fountàins… I guess I like the idea of making them into coloring pages…
Carolyn, I love all your new stencils. My favorite is Trio of Thorns. It reminds me of the small plastic pieces that we put inside of the large hole on 45 records, in order to play them on our turntables. Just gave away my age for sure.
I watched you in a video you taught at the CHA. I love watching your magic. Thanks for a chance to win some of your stencils.
Ann
Those new stencils are so yummy. Can’t wait to see what all can be done with them.
I never win but I love them all
Marsha
Great stencils, would LOVE to win. I’m amazed how much talent is out there.
Love your new stencils. Especially the castles and ransom letters
Love your new stencils … especially the skinny castle towers! I’ve enjoyed following your posts … your enthusiasm is contagious! Hope I’m the lucky winner … Barb
Wonderful new designs!
Beautiful stencils. I’d love to get them all painty!
All theses new stencils are great! Love the Once Upon A Time stencil and all the colourful towers created with it. Looking forward to your videos.
Love your encouragement of play! We all need a little more of that in our lives!
I love all of them but triangular pathways and the ransom alphabet just blow me away. Reuleaux triangles – who knew and so interesting. And, I, too read one of those ransom letter mysteries as a kid butI always aspired to getting a ransom note made out of letters cut out of the newspaper. (I hoped they’d kidnap my brother!)
I watched some of the Youtube videos from CHA. It looked like lots of fun! Wish I lived in the area. Love your MAtisse inspired stencils!
wow …love the new stencils! And I loved reading what it was that inspired them!
Looking forward to the videos of play time with them!
These new stencils are phenomenal! You have outdone yourself Miss Carolyn 🙂
<3
Lovely new stencils! I hope I win!
Your work just amazes me! I would love to have these stencils and appreciate the opportunity to perhaps win them because on a limited budget it is hard to have the money to purchase every thing we NEED (want)…….LOL Love the samples you made using them also……..great colors!
So envious that you got to go to CHA and experience all of the fun! Absolutely love all of your new stencils and can’t wait to see what you do with them.
I love, love, love the new stencils in so many ways. My favorites are the castles and triangles. Thank you for the new stencils and all the enthusiastic information and experiences you share with us all. You are such an inspiration!
Carolyn, I am a big fan of yours. You take the intimidation out of making art and I am so grateful for that. I would love to win a set of your new stencils. Thanks for your generosity.

It was so great to meet you at Creativation and actually get to take a mini class by you at the Gel Press booth. You are as nice and happy in person as you are in your videos.
I love seeing what you do each week and I try to incorporate it into encaustic art. The only thing I have not figured out is how to use gelli prints with encaustic without burning them or ruining their intense designs which I love
I love these stencils. Congrats on your new “babies”!!!

Yet again Carolyn!!! Your brilliant way you teach your craft and special ways of what appears as a “write off” or “just junk,” continue to inspire me and my new “Dube” legs!!! I love your sense of humour and your infectious ability that nothing is “garbage!!!” We need more Carolyn Dubes on YouTube, etc because nothing can always be turned into something special. Thank you Carolyn. You’re helping me to find my own muse.

I really like the stencils designed after the great masters styles… really interesting. THanks for sharing and I secretly hope I win some stencils. I;ll even share with my friends.
I tend toward being more precise and rigid, so it really gets me moving in another direction to start out by working with something playful and more interactive —
Love these!
These stencils are fabulous!! The random note alphabet is so whimsically fun!
Not art related, but I have to share that there’s a wonderful board game called Castles of Mad King Ludwig where you build your own castle with the room pieces. I love playing games as much as my art! 🙂
Also, I shared on Facebook
And I shared on Pinterest. Thank you!
First, I want to say that I really enjoy your videos. I really love the Once Upon a Time stencil. Although I would use them ALL! Thanks for a chance to win your fabulous stencils.
I really enjoy the work of Henri Matisse! I live in Minnesota, just north of Minneapolis, so I am very lucky to have the Minneapolis Institute of Arts within a half hour drive from me. I got to see a collection of Matisse’s amazing art in a larger scale show, plus they have a few pieces in their permanent collection. I am a Stencilgirl club member and I really enjoy my stencil surprise when it arrives in my mailbox each month.
wow! love the ransom alphabet stencils — was wondering this morning about finding some lettering that size in stickers or something and voila! here it is! **huge grin** and I love the the matisse inspired stencil! Woo Hoo! I would love to win these but if not … I will get out the “penny jar” and start filling it up so I can order them … 😀
Forgot to say that my inner geometry geek is geeking out over the story behind your Triangular Pathways stencil. So cool!!!
I just shared this post on Facebook 😀

I would love to have a collection of these very creative stencils. Thank you for the chance.
The new stencils are great. I especially love the leafy looking cut outs. I always have a weakness for leaves and plants in stamp, embossing folder and stencil format and this one is unlike any I’ve ever seen before. I love it.
As always your stencils are great. I love them all. The once upon a time stencil is my favorite. It reminds me of my favorite place in the whole world (Walt Disney World).
you have an amazing ability to come up with awesome stencils each and every time. You are so clever. Way to go.

These new stencils are awesome – and I would love a chance to win them. I thoroughly enjoy your videos (and am on your mailing list – love the artspirations too) as does my daughter.

I was immediately drawn to the Ransom alphabet stencil! Can see how fun they I’ll be to cut out no use in my art journals. But all the stencils are awesome and I love the story line of how they came to be.

Love the castle stencil. Especially love the masks which is like a bonus.
Red was ruby, green was fluorescent, yellow was simply incandescent. Color was life. Color was everything.
Color, you see, was the universal sign of magic.

Love those new stencils! Thanks for the chance to win!
Wonderful stencils! Glad I found you, I will definitely share on my blog! Thank you!
Nice prize
Congratulations, Carolyn! You inspire me to play, create, and most of all have fun while letting creativity flow! Thank you!
Hi Carol!
I just purchased the castle stencil & cannot wait for it to arrive in the mail!
I love the Matisse stencil… that is on my list!
So enjoy your website it is always full of exciting & creative things!
Sending hugs from me to you?
I love how artists, even in their latter years, when they can no longer do what they once did, pick up a new medium or way to continue to create just as successfully or even more so! I love the Matisse example, but there are many others. Remember Grandma Moses could no longer do needlepoint and started painting at 80 years old! Awesome!
Wow Carolyn…great stencils and enjoyed being privy to your inspirations. Will look for your videos. You help me remember to have fun when I am art journaling. Oops are welcome!
Christine Royal
Triangular pathways calls out to me! I love how you make art so welcoming (does that make sense?). You share your adventures in creating and give your readers suggestions which encourage us to try on our own (and to share on your blog).
Thanks for the chance to win these delightfully uber stencils!
Wuv the once Upon a Time (towers) & Triangular Pathways – so looking forward to the vids. Thanks for this generous opportunity to win all 7!!! Finger & toes all crossed -lol
I love your new stencils & have already put The Cutouts Inspired By Matisse on my wish list. I saw the exhibition of his cutouts at the Tate, London, I suppose it was over 2 years ago. They had a profound effect on me – very moving.
These look so fun!
Love all the new stencils!
Wow, how fun!! The new stencils are fabulous!!
What a treat to win all of these stencils! The stars may be my favorite. Can’t wait to do a crayon rubbing with these. You did a super job at CHA. Who could not buy those gel press impress plates after seeing your demo! Will be sharing on Facebook and Instagram right now. Thanks!
Oh noooo! Not more (yippie!) you, Ms. C Dube, are responsible formy stencil habit. Thats right, I am a stencil junkie, and its all your fault! Love the new stencils! ALL of them! Keep them coming, your creativeness knows no limits!
What a fun group of stencils! I especially like the Matisse. It dates me, but I remember when he was using those large shapes to decorate a church in Southern France. Somewhere there’s a PBS documentary about it. I’ve added posts to Pinterest and Instagram.
Oh I would love to win your new stencils. They are very playfull and fun. I Will share on Facebook.
How fun! I love all of these repeating patterns. Thank you for sharing your creativity and what inspires you.

The stencils are fabulous! I’m a week away from a three-week hospital stay for a stem cell transplant. I’m allowed watercolors and gel pens, and these would help keep me inspired.
Great designs!

Hi – I love your geometric, alphabet stencils and the Thorns one. Thanks so much for the giveaway and sharing your wonderful ideas. Would have loved CHA.
When our granddaughters come to visit, one of the fist things they request is to see Carolyn Dube’s new videos. They will really enjoy seeing the new stencils and watching how you use them. Your blog posts and videos inspire their creativity.
I have posted these on Facebook and PInterest for my friends to see.
Love the Reuleaux triangle especially – looks like a stained glass window when color is added. Fabulous collection that you should be proud of creating and anyone else should be proud of owning.
I love your ideas and style pick me pick me lol
What a great set of stencils! And your comment about The Streets of San Francisco reminded me of watching that show with my grandparents. What a great memory! Thanks for that!
Your talent is amazing. I love your new stencils but have to say the castles are the best! Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great set!

I was trying to determine which one I liked best and why. Reading your reasons for creating each design was very informative and inspiring and helped me with my decision. Though it was not an easy one, as I like them all. But the arched foundations is my favorite, because I can see the water sprays of the fountains. I too have been to Versailles and if I win I can create my memories. I also intend to get the book on Matisse. You have piqued my curiousity to learn about about him.
Hiya Carolyn – Great Giveway – have already put some of the new stencils on my wish list. You might not have time to video as you went, but thankfully others did and posted them on YouTube – it did look like you were having amazing fun.
Wow! Love them all Carolyn! Would be amazing if I won them! Love all your videos Carolyn!!! Love you too! Keep on creating!!!
Love the new stencils! Love you Carolyn! Love to win them please!!!!
Wow, Carolyn! You have hit all my hot buttons this time! It will take me awhile, but those are all on my list now! I have quite a few stencils, but there’s always room for one–or seven–more! Hope I win!

Hi Carolyn!!! I left a comment past 27, but guess the Internet trolls took it away lol Your work is awesome, love your stencils. I’m practicing gelatin printing with a homemade plate, in my country it is really hard to find imported goods now that we have currency control, but I enjoy so much watching artists like yourself making so many pretty pages that I just couldn´t resist and made one. Thanks for the chance.

I enjoy your posts and really love your stencils. I would love the chance to win these for my own collection. If not,,, are they being sold at stencil girl? Thank you for sharing. Martha
Carolyn, I love your art. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for doing what you do. You inspire me to work harder on my art and to be less of a perfectionist. Art is different for everyone. Sometimes, when you look at a piece that has an oops, stepping away from it helps to see that it’s really not bad. It just wasn’t what you initially were hoping for. Thank you for being you.
Wonderful idea
Wow! Great giveaway! Hope I’m not too late to enter!
