Silhouette Shape Challenge: Stenciled Whale Bag

Hi everybody!  I was making this tote last night because my current church bag is seriously falling apart!  I saw this bag on MADE, and loved it.  I found the very same napkin sets at Target in a blue/green variety.  I also picked up the red pack, but that tote is still in progress…well I made it, picked it apart, and am waiting to re make it. :)
Enough chit chat----onto the finished bag!

I decided that the blue side would be super cute with the free whale shape from last week, and then I could enter the weekly challenge!  I fired up my silhouette this morning, applied a vinyl stencil…

Quickly painted (and even left a mess on the desk!)

Used a hair dryer to quickly semi-dry the paint, peeled off the vinyl, and Tada!

I would have hung it up to get a photo, but it’s still drying! 

I used a swirl shape by Miss Kate for the waves instead of the included waves.  Overall, I love the bag and will soon fill it with all sorts of busy activities for my one year old at church!

Thanks for reading!
