Stencil Cutting.

I thought that easiest way of adding specific colours to my image was to cut stencils for each area, the poppies, the nasturtiums and the nasturtium leaves. I printed the image onto Yupo paper, thinking that it would make a good stencil medium, but being so shiny, the ink didn't soak in, but rather it spread out from each line. It took 48 hours for the ink to be dry enough to cut out the shapes, and even then it smeared quite a lot, clearly visible in the lower paper. I outlined each section with red pen to make it easier to see what to cut out and that too smeared resulting in a rather messy looking image! I've marked the middle of each stencil to that I can line them up, I hope that it works out as I intend!
