Hi Jamie…..just got a silouhette and am experimenting with a few things. I noticed that someone asked for a cut file in a previous comment. Would you mind explaining what that is for a newbie silhouette person?
Love, love,love the finished piece……beautiful!
Would love to try making one of these for my home!

Hi Jamie. Yes the board is already painted black. I paint the same black paint in the stencil first so that if there is any “bleeding” through the stencil it will be the black paint. Which means any bleeding will be unnoticeable. I then paint the color that I want the wording to be. This paint won’t bleed now because the black paint has filled in any area where bleeding may occur. Does that make sense? Thanks for stopping by!

I am confused about putting the black paint inside the stencil. Isn’t the board already black? Please explain!
