40. Painted stencils but also some tatouage

All the complex ones were multi-layer stencils- one layer per color.

e.g. This one was two layers

But this one was three

Here's a few links to the catalogs of places we got ours.

The last few pictures above (the shells) are tatouage, which are peel and rub transfer.
