Confession...

Every once in a while -- not often, I admit -- I break down and actually wash a stencil ... usually when I've used a 3-dimensional medium like molding paste with the stencil. 

Most recently, I washed my 9"X12" stencil Tangled Pods. 

As it happened, I had a blank white paper underneath the stencil during the cleaning (done with rubbing alcohol and a soft terrycloth rag.)  

When I lifted the stencil, I found this reverse print ...

... and I like it.  It will come in handy someday ... for something!

Happy Mother's Day to all my fellow mothers out there!
