First thing I did to start my “Hand-Drawn Cricut-Made Stencil Whale Board” project, was open a new project in Cricut Design Space and cut my hand-drawn whale out on Cricut’s Stencil Vinyl.

Step #2:

While my Cricut Explore was cutting my whale out, I went ahead and started on my board and painted my first coat of paint on the front and sides. Here I used the “satin Dark Lapis” color paint.

Once my whale was finish getting cut out, I carefully removed the middle pieces front the bottom layer stencil, but it wasn’t until later that I did the same for the top layer stencil.

After a couple more coats of paint letting each coat dry for at least an hour as instructed, I was ready to carefully place the bottom layer of my whale stencil in the spot I wanted it to go.

With my whale stencil in place, I carefully started painting the middle of the stencil using the “satin Coal” paint. Again, I added three coats allowing each coat to dry at least an hour each time.

Once the bottom layer of my whale was finished drying thoroughly, I carefully placed my top layer stencil to matchup with the bottom layer as well as possible. Then using the “satin White” color paint, I carefully painted the inside of the stencil. Again, for this layer, I used three coats, letting each dry accordingly.
