  @Victoria D Back when stenciling was popular 12-15 years ago, I did quite a bit of stenciling over textured plaster walls. I used a stiff bristled stenciling brush so I would have more control of the paint (not a foam brush or roller). I applied the paint using an up and down pouncing motion rather than the swirling motion. Expect some bleeding under the stencil but how much really depends on the difference in the highs and lows of the texture. If you try it , I would also recommend using an adhesive spray on the back of your stencil so you can stick it down as much as possible to minimize bleeding. Just using tape on the corners of the stencil will not hold the stencil tight enough against the texture. I would also try to pick a pattern that will be somewhat forgiving of some paint bleeding due to your textured walls. If you are impatient or a perfectionist, I'd advise against doing it. I have also wallpapered over (same) textured walls. When I did it (again, quite a few years ago), they made wallpaper liner. The stuff I used looked like heavy brown craft paper and was applied horizontally on the wall , not vertically like wallpaper. Again, the success of this depends on how high your texture is. Choosing a thick wallpaper or something with a pattern will also help camouflage the texture underneath. If you have a local store that sells wallpaper, I would inquire about what might be new in the way of liners for textured walls. I will offer one word of caution. Removing wallpaper from smooth walls can sometimes be troublesome. Removing it (and a layer of liner) from textured walls is a test of ultimate patience.
