Today kicks off 6 days of new stenciling videos and a giveaway each day to celebrate my latest release at StencilGirl! Ā Since I’m incredibly impatient, I couldn’t wait until Monday to start so I’m turning this on a little early. Ā I figure you don’t mind…
It’s no secret I love words and quotes but something happened when I played around with quotes by Pablo Picasso. Ā The wordsĀ transformed from pure text to become design elements that intersect and overlap.
In the video, I share how the layers built up as well asĀ how I effortlesslyĀ clean a finely detailed stencil such as Picasso’s Words.
Watch Building up layers with just one stencilĀ on YouTube.

Awesome stencil!! Looks like so much fun to play with!! š
Thanks for the chance to win!
Just shared on fb, can’t wait to see tomorrow’s…
I love how you used the stencil to cover the whole page and then layered different colors over the base layer. It sort of reminded me of those color blind tests where the letters and numbers and colors are all jumbled together1
As always I enjoy your videos and look forward to each new one. You inspire us all!!!
Thanks for including us on this side of the pond too. Love your humor and love your stencils.
Love the colors and overlapping words. It will be a great background inspiration. Can’t wait to see where your muse takes you. I just got my shimmery Pebeo paints yesterday. My they make a page come to life. Thanks for sharing your new stencils.
had to look it up…. can’t end on “of”… “keeping a diary”. Now I can go back to painting. Whew!
Love the stencils, love what you did with this one š Thanks for sharing.
I love your work, Carolyn. Thank you for inspiring me!

I love this stencil and would be thrilled to win one in this giveaway! Thank you for the opportunity.
Another great stencil! I have the same type of plastic tub to soak my stencils in. It was unusual watching you clean one of your stencils off, I had to check to see if it really was a Carolyn Dube video. lol
I know – it is really strange for me too Liz but I did actually clean it. I don’t clean it perfectly but the fact that I am even cleaning is a shock to me too!
Love the beautiful and colorful results from the layers paints through this stencil! Thanks for the video and the inspiration, Carolyn!

Oh Carolyn, I never would have thought of having a stencil like this. The thing I like about it is that you don’t have to line it up….my type of stencil. Haven’t posted much lately as Robert had back surgery and is in a lot of pain. However, I do have a lot of stencil ideas I can’t wait to try and share.
I love your creativity.

Cool stencil. Would love to be the winner. š
I Love,Love,Love this stencil! Just like the Rembrandts Words by the way.
You have a way with words!!
Great Stencil! Love your work!!!

Love words on pages and you seem to come up with the best word stencils ever!!! I definitely will be placing and order today. Thanks for ALL your inspiration! :0)
I need your word stencil, it makes a very nice page for a journal, love the colors you used…
Simply wonderful…and now added to my Christmas wish list!
I’m digging the new stencils. Congrats on the release of 6 new ones. Thanks for sharing the tut, and for the opportunity to win a stencil. A girl can never have too many!!! BTWā¦ using all the bright colors was a brilliant idea given the gloomy and cold conditions in much of the continental US right now. BRRRRā¦.. ((((HUGS))))
I’ve been having fun watching your videos. Your husband was so funny.
Well …. darn, I cannot remember if I already commented…. lol See, that’s what happens as you get older and better!!!!! Anyway, I like what you did with just one stencil. Very clever and creates such a neat background. Love your stencils.
Beautiful results with the stencil, Carolyn! The colors you chose were just perfect and the resulting background was great!
That is an awesome stencil. Love what you did with the background! awesome colors.
Loved this video. I love them all,you crack me up! But this one really made me excited enough to clean off my space so there would be room to stencil! Thanks for all the inspiration you give!
As always, I love watching you create…anything!!! Your playfulness totally inspires me to let go and just have fun. š
I don’t know how I missed the beginning of your debut with your new stencils. I love them!!! I am always excited when you have new stencils on Stencil Girl.

I love words too! I can think of so many ways I can use this great stencil in my mixed media fun… It must be exciting to have your concept made into a permanent, shareable format š
Love your stencils!
Love the background layer you made, great stencil š
great stencil. Maybe you can add a picture from the picasso website you recommended.
Great tutorial!
Fabulous stencil, sooooo many uses !
Like the way your word background came out. I tend to overthink things, and your videos help get me out of that mode.
Thanks!
Love the idea of being able to use just one stencil to achieve this
This background is fantastic! I love the slender shape of this font.
fun with words, love this stencil
What a lovely fun way to portray a word into a different form, cant wait to see what you make with this background
Wow! this could be my favourite stencil of the week!!

I love this stencil!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I absolutely love that your process is so easy-peasy looking!
I have to let myself go with. I want to read every quote from the stencil so it is hard for me to enjoy the picture. I do love the colors.
Because of you and your videos, I am getting more comfortable with words!
Love this stencil, it has so much potential. Would love to win it
Another great text-filled stencil!
Oh boy. loved the video- gave me lots of ideas. thanks
