Kathy,
I'd steer clear of it. Stencilling relies on oxides for colouring,
and, unless you maintain the surface by painting it with clear finishes
each 5 years or so, will fade and become patchy after about ten years. You
could then paint over it, but you won't be able to recover the original
colours or effects. Try exposed aggregate instead.
