You could use different shades of stain to bring out the contrast of the stencil
Black might be too dark, experiment on a board. I would try some shades of gray....like a shadow.
Hi Patricia, How would I apply that? The stencil is fairly narrow.
Sharon, are you saying highlight with gray pen on the edges or edge the stencil with gray? Thanks
Thanks
I would be sure to use some of that spray adhesive on your stencil, cause I'm concerned its going to bleed under the stencil into the wood grain. I would experiment on a piece of scrap wood first.
Yes, I was thinking black might be too much, and grey would be softer. Maybe you could experiment with some fine felt tip markers around the stencil design edges, that might keep the stain from bleeding also.
You can use a decoupage glue to make sure that the stencil stays still
