The stenciling technique for this pillow was pretty much the same as for the first, so I'll skip the full tutorial and just hit on the ...
Damask Stenciled Pillow Tutorial
When long time sponsor iStencils offered to send me some stencils to play with, I was beyond excited. For one thing, I really needed a painting break, and this was the perfect excuse. For another... well, who doesn't like free stuff? And you know what's even better? Starting tomorrow you'll have a chance to get free stuff too, because that's when our iStencils giveaway starts. But first things first, and for my first project using my stash of new stencils, I've stenciled a pair of canvas pillows with this Damask pattern. Here's a how-to on the first of the ...

Stenciled Umbrella

Quick Stenciled Card
I love paper crafts. I don’t do a lot of them myself, but today I needed a card for someone special, and decided to see if I could come up with something creative.
