Why am I not using some of my art supplies? Is it hoarding? Nope, it was something else and it was an easy, playful fix! Now I'm excited to use these old stickers after 10-15 years! There are some practical questions about this, but I figured it out as I went!
Stencils are quick way to get patterns, designs, and text into your layers but what I've shared here is just the tip of the iceberg of what they can do! If you're looking for ideas, the how and the why, to get even more out of your stencils then check out my online workshops acolorfuljourn...

Want to play? Want to know specific ways to let go and have fun? Join the fun in my free mixed media workshop Permission to Play acolorfuljourn...
You can find me designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, teaching in person and online workshops and sharing the message of O.O.P.S. here on KZfaq and on the blog, aColorfulJourney.com
What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that we so harshly criticized ourselves about actually became true gifts as soon as you start saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly!
I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.
