Stencil This!
Draw
Easy
Words and letters are really just collections of shapes. Instead of thinking about what the stencils say, focus on the lines and curves they create. Trace the openings over and over to build repeating patterns, geometric designs, or even recognizable objects. Fill the shapes with different colors, patterns, or textures using the pencils provided. Experiment with overlapping ideas and see what interesting designs appear from simple shapes.
Once you feel the card is complete, sign and date the back.
(Optional: Glue an ATC backing to the back and fill it out.)
