I was thinking of doing the lettering in baby blue, but to make it stand out, I want to outline it in a darker blue. Have you ever tried doing outlining with this technique? Is it difficult? Does it come out as neat and straight when you paint outlines (due to the indent in the wood)? Any help, tips, suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Simply print off the design or words, turn the paper over (or just print mirror image if you have the capability), and trace a thick line of pencil around all the edges (you may have to hold paper up to a light source). Then turn the pencil side on to the surface you want to transfer to, and use the pencil to shade heavily over the entire image! So easy and leaves a darker design you can see on the wood/plastic/whateverJenny Yennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638902457719654871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772980434779300135.post-61350508131378040022012-05-31T11:34:41.679-04:002012-05-31T11:34:41.679-04:00Anyone know how you would adapt this technique to ...Anyone know how you would adapt this technique to canvas lettering?Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714157031744965160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772980434779300135.post-83405208336756373682012-05-07T03:49:14.855-04:002012-05-07T03:49:14.855-04:00This is such a great tip!!
