Welcome to our two part post.
**First, a reminder that you have until Friday, July 18th at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #345 -Designer's Choice - Three of the Same- found HERE.
**Second, the gallery was filled with 45 stencil sensations. The variety of stencils and techniques you shared have certainly served as inspiration for us. Narrowing the field to three Top Picks is, as always, a challenge...
Our Top Picks:

Denise's blackout technique really makes her stencil and sentiment pop. Eye-catching!

Carol has selected a cool, whimsically geometric stencil to ink with summer colours. Fresh and pretty.

Vicki's stenciled center panel design is a pretty background for her silhouette flowers and birthday sentiment.
Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.
