Its been my experience with gel stain that it works pretty much like a pain so you should be able to stencil it like paint. Just use as little as possible to avoid bleeding.
No differently than any other project. On a horizontal surface you may want to use a spray adhesive to the back of the stencil for each time. This is because it will have a tendency to run down where stencil a counter of floor the stencil is flush with the surface. Hobby Lobby carries Repositionable spray adhesive that you can get online if you don't have one near you.
I highly recommend using a small roller if possible. I have found that it is the best way to apply paint (or gel stain with is rather thick and behaves like paint) to a stencil. You need a really tight foam roller. I have done pillows, wood projects and walls that way. Here's a link to a project I did recently and the tools I used. Good luck...great idea!

Use a makup sponge to apply the stain. Using a brush may force stain under the stencil.
Dab the paint onto the riser with a makeup brush or sponge to fill in the stencil openings
Sounds so pretty!
I would use make-up sponges for this job. And even at that dab with little paint as possible. Sounds like a great idea. Good luck and be well.
Thank you, It turned out beautiful
