Stencil templates are also used to create raised or 3-D effects and even dazzling effects with leaf or metallic paint. Basic stencil designs can take on a whole new personality. With a little shading you can achieve extraordinary results. You'll learn the basics as well as creative ideas to go beyond the ordinary.
