Here’s what the patterned paper looks like with the stamped paper under the deli paper. Such a 20’s art deco feel to me!

This was a great Oops for me- the pattern is a bit off in the top left and I love how it looks- I know what I want to try next time I play with this stencil!

Here’s what I made with the patterned deli paper and the best part is that I have a huge piece of the paper for other projects!

After the camera was off I did add a touch of white stabilo pencil to the woman.

  • Jone johnson July 26, 2013, 11:08 am

    I started out at your website. I love watching your videos on YouTube. I have watched you with other stencils. I particularly liked how you showed how to easily line up the parts of the stencil as I’m no great math genius & am not particularly great with spacial orientations. Thanks also for always showing us that an” oops ” is not always fatal to our work. I have many of Stencil Girls stencils but have not tried this one. Now I am considering it & ones along the same lines as everyone has shown such versatility.

  • becky voth July 26, 2013, 11:19 am
