I mixed up the colors I wanted using lightweight spackling compound and acrylic paint. Then I taped the stencil on a scrap piece of plywood. I used a stencil brush to apply the stucco.
Here is how my stucco flower turned out. Not bad for my first try. :D
I like this idea. Now I just need to find the stencils I'll need. I probably already have some. I just need to find them! Here is a great site for ideas and real life size stencils, Victoria Larsen.com. Mini Stencils has stencils that are just the right size.
Hope you have a lovely day!

Kathi, it is very easy to cut your own stencils. You can buy the plastic at michael's. Trace what you want to do and cut it out with a exacto knife. Go for it!
I was thinking the same thing Casey. If I want an original design I will just have to make one myself.
I already have the plastic and the exacto knife. :D
In fact I have practically everything anyone could want to do anything! LOL
And still, I go shopping!
This stucco finish is really interesting. I would really like to use it for sign writing if that is ok with you.
Good idea, Kathi! Thanks again for the link!
esa prueba te ha quedado muy bonita, ahora a encontrar la del tamaño adecuado ,sino siempre puedes hacerla tu misma
besitos
