I was undecided whether to give my copy of this wide border stencil away.
I want to paint it in hot colours onto clashing colour backgrounds but never seem to get the time. I was going to combine it with the new hand stencil in an Indian themed room set....but I didn't. So, the only use this stencil has had so far was to be the tool for my certification project for the International Decorative Artisans's League (IDAL) I am standing in front of it.
To get my CSA qualification I had to recreate the stencilled scheme in my living room onto paper, wood and fabric and send it anonymously to an examination board in the USA. This is how the border looks in my home.
I am giving away my used stencil to the first person that leaves a comment on this post. You will need to pay a post and pack charge depending on where in the world you are. UK £4. Airmail to Europe £7. and rest of world £12.00 I will contact the first commenter by email to get delivery details, so do not put personal information with your message.

It has taken me 2 days to figure out how to leave a comment on your blog. It's my first time. I have really enjoyed the stencils I have ordered from you in the past and just stumbled the rest of your website which is loaded with beautiful pictures, stories, and I learned about the free stencils. Is it too late for the wide border giveaway? I just love that one.
