It ended up with the stencil not wanting to stay attached to the canvas. So changed plans....I ended up positioning the words on the canvas and then painted over them with a green acrylic paint. 
Once the paint was dry, I pulled off the words, and was left with the lettering being white. 
Once that was done, I then took a black marker and colored in the words and ended up with this. I've also finished painting the canvas green. At some point after I move I'll add flowers to the canvas in the same manner as what I've done for paying off my bills (and now I need a new one for the house!). 
Current progress in paying down the bills......I'm getting closer on some of them!
Gratitudes:
1. Hives are better with the high dosage of anti-histamines.
2. I move in one week..........yippee!
