Star Wars Han Solo and Princess Leia love!

 Happy 12th Anniversary to me and my hubby!

In honor of our special day...

 

Is there anything more geeky and romantic?

I think not.

 I used my silhouette to cut out contact

 shelf lining paper...it's cheap, but so hard to see!
But it's so cheap!  I buy this at the dollar store.

My silhouette settings are:
Blade set to 5, cut depth on the software set to 1.
Cut speed at 3...better to go slow.

Carefully applied to wood with transfer

 tape for the perfect stencil!

I did dry/bare wood and black paint...

 

 and I wasn't too thrilled about the major bleeding problem...

 

  So I used the contact paper to recover Han and Leia...

 and then painted all the rest of the wood white!

Much better, crisper lines!  The perfect silhouettes!

Then I re-did the captions in contact paper 

and painted those on...

In a true Star Wars Geek Love fashion...

 And since I know YOU want one too...here's the png I used.

Princess Leia and Han Solo silhouettes

I finished mine off with light sanding the edges and a wax finish.
Presto!
