Daffodils Stencil [PDF] – NEW 26-MAR-12
Three daffodil views designed to be printed onto acetate and then cut out the back areas to leave a stencil. By using the stencil to apply colour embossing powders and using these as a resist, you can create a stained glass effect by making the borders black. I’ve featured them in my Twelve Tags for 2012 for March, with full instructions available at the Manic Stamper Craft Club blog. Alternatively, use a monochrome laser printer to print them out and then apply fusible foil over the top.

Designed to be used for gift box or display, can be made from either card or acetate. The ‘hooks’ latch round each other to form a swirl top and bottom. A base can be cut from thick card and stuck inside on the closed bottom of the box to stabilise. Instructions on how to construct the box are here.
