This piece of art I created to enter into a contest. The contest rules was you had to create something using
Oramask 813 Stencil Film purchased from https://expressionsvinyl.com/. I didn't win the contest :'-( but had fun making this piece anyway. What I used was a piece of semi smooth wood approximately 24"x18". I purchased the wood at Home Depot. The silhouette of the Mad Hatter (The Johnny Depp version) I found online. I transferred the silhouette into my Silhouette program, traced it in the program, and cut it with my Cameo. The Wording at the bottom is one of the scripts that came with my Silhouette program. I also cut it out with my Cameo. I then weeded the whole thing....it took a lot of time, but I think was worth it. I weeded it backwards, so there would be no film in the areas that I wanted the design to show. The only stencil I left was the stencil in the negative areas. Reason being this was to be applied to the wood and spray painted. First I added two base coats of white spray paint to the wood, when it was dry I transferred the Stencil Film to the wood using transfer tape. I then removed the transfer tape, taped up all of the edges with painters tape, then spray painted the design with black spray paint. I used two coats, and did not allow it to dry completely before removing the stencil. The reason you don't want it to try completely is because if it does and you remove your stencil the paint will peel up with it. So it's a little messy, and you have to be very careful, but well worth the effort. When it was completely dry I went in with glitter acrylic paint and touched up his eyes, and a few of the letters.
Happy Crafting!
