Arts and Crafts Anyone?

A couple of months ago three of my siblings re-painted and re-arranged their rooms. Since I have my own room now, the only changes that I have made so far have been to get rid of the bunk bed that was there and replaced it with two single beds, one is for guests or if my sister comes home to visit. I also moved a tall shelf-thing from where it had been at the end of the bunk beds to the corner next to my bed and moving a canvas picture from in between the windows to a different wall.

During all of the re-painting and re-arranging of rooms, I had the idea to get a stencil and paint it in between the windows in my room. It took me a while to figure out what type of stencil I wanted to get and what size. The stencil that I ended up with is a set of 3 small-ish size stencils with an owl and flowers on them. After I had bought the stencils they sat in my room because I didn't know if I wanted to paint them all white and then go over them with another color so that they didn't blend into the grey-blue colors of my walls. A while back I had purchased a pack of two canvases to paint on, even though I am not an artist, as well as some paint. The first canvas I ended up using for abstract painting and the other canvas ended up sitting blankly in my room until recently.

Then the other day I was upstairs in my room doing something else when I had the idea to use some of the owl/flower stencils on the canvas. After grabbing a pencil I used a couple strips of Washi tape to hold down the stencil with the owl on it and started tracing. Once the owl was finished I added some flowers and leaves to the corners and then used a black pen to go over the pencil lines. In typical me fashion I forgot to take a picture of the canvas with just the stencils on it and I only thought of it after I started painting. So here is the finished product as well as an in-progress picture that I took.
