This design has been featured many times by many artists on this blog.
I am giving away my used copy of the LTL4 Dandelion stencil in both the standard and small size. They are from our 'Larger Than Life' collection

To see past give-aways look at FREE STENCILS in the left hand side bar.
The set that I am offering has been used to stencil the pink and blue banner above.
and this roller blind. So you can see that it has not been used a great deal but I have lost the single parachute motif from the smaller set. I must have lost it some time ago because it does not appear in my projects.
The larger parachute is still there, it has been cut from the base of the stencil and is featured in the photograph.
You can be quite arty with this set. The stems have been designed to shorten or increase the length easily.
To get a 3D effect like the one in this picture this you will need to make a mask from paper or stencil film. Stencil one dandelion clock then protect it with a mask cut to the same shape. Excuse the crude line on the picture but it is to help you see where the mask ends.
Once the second dandelion head is stencilled the mask is removed and this should be the result.
To make chunks of the head appear to be missing use a similar procedure with smaller masks.
Want my set? Be the first to comment. If you miss the free one then new, unused versions of these stencils can be bought from this page at The Stencil Library.

I would love this for my daughter's dresser!

Thanks Kate.
If I hear nothing from Beth they will be offered again. New unused ones are available for sale through our web site. The page link is http://www.stencil-library.com/docs/cat325.htm
There is something quite charming about that stencil and so far I have liked all the interpretations of it that I have seen from customer photographs.
There will be different 'Larger than Life' stencils offered in the future as I am trying to get some new room sets done at the moment.
