Position your cookie cutter onto the Signmask and trace around it, then cut out your design. You can use a scalpel and just cut through the vinyl layer, or scissors and cut through the paper backing liner too.

Peel the sticky signmask off the backing and smooth onto the watercolour card, don't worry, you can reposition if required and it will peel off easily later. Using watercolour paint, colour the gingerbread man, the stencil will ensure you get clean, accurate edges. Leave to dry before removing. You can carefully replace the stencil onto its liner and use again if wished.

I cut an additional decorative, leafy design to give a border around the gingerbread man, positioned it on the card and painted it, once again leaving it to dry before removing.

Mr Gingerbread needs a little decoration, so with some scraps of white, black and red ImagePerfect I cut his eyes, buttons and icing. I did use my digital cutter for this but could also have cut shapes by hand, on a Sissix type die cutter or even used little hole puches in different shapes which would work really well.
