Clean the stencil and place on top of the first stenciled layer. Move the stencil upward until the words "interlock" and fill in the open spaces. Stencil with CS® Leaf Ink. You may find it helpful to stabilize the stencil with painter's tape while working.

If you're new to Club Scrap, we typically create a stencil to coordinate with each collection and alternate by including it in the Deluxe kit (this month) or in the Lite kit (next month.) If you never want to miss a stencil, you can always order from the online store. Thanks for reading all the "words" today!
