Welcome to this month's Create and Share Challenge! This month, 19 of us teamed up with Cutting Edge Stencils and created projects with their holiday line of stencils.
This project was inspired by my love of Christmas Eve midnight Mass:
Upon seeing this stencil, those memories {which I hadn't thought about in years} filled my mind. Perhaps it's the lights on this stencil? Or the stained glass-esque design?
Here's how to create your own Reindeer Wall Art with Lights!
Position your stencil on your canvas and tape it down well, so that it doesn't shift mid-stenciling.
Start stenciling. Be sure to blot your brush or roller on a paper towel or something similar. This will help you avoid the problem of paint bleeding under the stencil.
Now, add any embellishments you'd like. I added a die-cut that says "Peace, Joy, Love & Cheer."
Use your X-Acto Knife to cut small x's in each bulb of the light string. You're much better off having too small of an x here than too large of one!
Now, find a place for your canvas, plug in the lights, add a few thoughtful details, and marvel at your creativity! :0)

Ann Dunlop on Dec 17, 2015You cut the X in the canvas, not the light bulb I assume.
