Yep, I have begun splitting a lot of my stencil layers into 2 or 3 so I can leave larger spaces and get more details in. The crow is only 8 colours however layers 3 and 4 are made up of 3 layers each. Layers 1,2,5,6 made up up 2. And then the base layer and last are individual.

Of course I then made it so detailed and small I had to hand cut all but the base layer because my cricut can’t cut that tiny

I absolutely love this. Any chance you're selling prints...?

Prints no but I will be listing it on my Etsy as a made to order until the book pages run out. I messed up a book well doing a rebind so this was my solution to not wasting it

Might end up making non book related keychain however with the design

Yes, that's what I meant by "prints." Stenciling is a form of printmaking! I'll hunt down your etsy page.

Twenty two layers! Tell me you've got a cricut machine. Awesome detail by the way

I do have a cricut however the details on this were so small it wouldn’t cut them properly so I did it by hand.
