Cutting out your own Stencil

Can be a royal pain, especially when it's small, but it's worth it. I spent quite a few hours creating a stencil based on a painting I did of my daughter a few years ago.

Experimented in my sketchbook (the flower is a pressed flower I had glued in earlier). Lesson I learned after I managed to do a few nice ones on cardboard is never use a spray can that has gotten clogged up. From now on I think I will buy smaller spray cans and be mindful of keeping the nozzle clean.

I am happy with the final results and will leave this one out for Free Art Friday. I glued a little felt flower onto it, just thought it was a nice touch.
