I am OBSESSED with the new pansy stencil!! I know it is brand new …. but do you have any idea when it will be available to purchase a digital copy?
Hi Gayl,
We’re glad to hear that you like the Pansy stencil. At this time, we have no plans to release it for DIY since it was developed specifically for this collection. We have many floral stencil options available through The School of Making if you’re looking for something for spring and summer.
