Stencil Happy

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Seeing a couple of stencil challenges, I thought it was high time to put
some of that stash of stencils to use.


I wanted to go bright and happy.  I think I succeeded.

I used the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches.  I hope this is CAS enough.  

Using a stencil and sketch took me out of my comfort zone.

It was fun!
