Welcome!! We are so excited to day to be offering a fabulous giveaway from Cutting Edge Stencils!
If you haven’t heard about Cutting Edge Stencils (has anyone NOT heard of Cutting Edge Stencils?) than we are so excited to introduce you to this fabulous company! They produce lovely stencils of all types that can be used for amazing projects and they sent me one of these fabulous stencils to review! I chose the Casablanca Allover Stencil. 
I was so excited when I saw a package waiting on my doorstep from Cutting Edge Stencils.  I was impressed with how well it was packaged…and even more so when I opened it up and got a peek at what was inside!

Cutting Edge Stencils, doesn’t just send one but FOUR stencils when you order an all over interlocking stencil like I did.  You receive the main stencil, a top stencil, a single stencil and a fun bonus stencil..cause they’re just nice like that!  You also receive a foam roller and handle, as well as a nifty clip on stencil level! That’s a lot of bang for your buck!
Originally, I had intended to stencil my walls and f you purchase a Cutting Edge Stencils stencil to use on a wall in your home, they provide easy to understand and follow videos explaining every step of wall stenciling so you can achieve a professional look!

Cutting Edge Stencils Tutorial
I decide though, I wanted to try my hand as something different so I purchased two square art canvases from Hobby Lobby as well as a smaller foam roller brush for the smaller area I would be working with.
I laid my stencil across both canvases so that the pattern would repeat across both of them.

Then following the instructions provided by Cutting Edge Stencils, I rolled on my paint that I had placed on a paper plate, after removing the excess on a paper towel.  I was careful to avoid the areas I had designated for my coordinating color. It’s important to use nice even pressure when rolling on your paint, not pressing too hard and not letting your roller go completely dry.
Next using my coordinating color

I used a small round foam brush to fill in the empty spaces with my coordinating color.  I followed the same technique, of loading the paint on the brush and then removing the excess on a paper towel.

After the paint had dried, I removed the large stencil and used the top stencil to finish off the pattern along the top edge of the top canvas and the bottom edge of the bottom canvas.  After the surface was completely dry I trimmed off the edge of the canvases with my coordinating color to give it a completed look.

I love how my “custom artwork” turned out! It was an inexpensive way to add color and interest to my powder room makeover.
Here is the piece I found that has inspired the color choices in this room.

If you follow us on Facebook, you know that Bama Boy is not happy with my choice to use Tennessee Volunteers Orange  Tangerine in any room in our home…but you can see his vote has been vetoed! Winking smile

What do you think? I LOVE that because of the quality of Cutting Edge Stencils you can use them over and over again for so many different projects! I already have several in mind for the stencil I received!

  20. Great job on the stencil project. I love the colors you used in your powder room. Don’t enter me in the giveaway as I will be having one of my own. Just got my stencil a couple of days ago and can’t wait to use it!

  42. Great giveaway, but I won’t enter this one because I won a stencil from them a few months ago! I chose the Casablanca allover and used it to stencil a wall in my sister-in-law’s guest bedroom. Now I plan to use it to stencil a kitchen rug. I love the artwork that you created with your stencil.

  48. Oh I really love this! I went to the site, and the damask one has my name written all over it. I love to stencil but haven’t done much of it in years.

  49. And I already follow through linky followers. (Although to be honest, I never check that linky followers page. I just check my blogger dashboard, and you still come up just like a “normal” blog.

    So how about that? You’re normal. Whoda thunk it?

  53. Just tweeted about it. Would really love to win this and use it in my upcoming, as in next month, bath remodel. I’ve been looking for just the right wallpaper but haven’t been able to find it yet. I can just make my own version with this!

  59. Great post!! I love stencils. Haven’t tried to work with them yet. A little intimidating, but might have to try the stencil art canvas! Love that idea. Thanks for stopping by my blog and taking the time to leave a comment!! Looking forward to linking up to par-tay again soon!

  60. I love these stencils and I adore your wall art! I will be back this weekend to enter the giveaway. I hope to catch up then on email and commenting…it’s the story of my life these days! Hope all is well with both of you.

  61. Oh my! Too many to pick just one! But, I’ve been wanting to stencil a room in our house, especially since we have extremely high walls and it’s hard to know what to do to them, I love the Hand Forged Allover stencil! Okay, and the Moroccan Dream Allover stencil!

    I also liked Cutting Edge on FB and tweeted about it all!

    Have a great day!
