I found a huge roll of removable vinyl “wallpaper” at Goodwill for $4, and a bag of three 7"x11" wood plaques, a d decided to see how feasible using my Cameo to make stencils was. (Just using vinyl would probably be easier, but the colors are more limited.) So I worked up this sign using the deer I drew for my Christmas tree skirt. The green bits of flourish are a cut file from another artist, and the font is a free one from DaFont. I fretted over the layout, and the more fiddly bits of text and flourishes bled more than I would have liked, but a little touchup here or there and overall, I think the technique, a d the design, worked great. I LOVE my new little sign. Next, one for Halloween!

Thanks! The colors harken back to 1950s Shiny Brite colors, to match my vintage ornament collection, and the retro tree skirt I made last year.

Thanks! I looked it up, and just in case you’re interested, the font is called Brighton Spring.
