Stenciling typically suffers from two distinct limitations: The images can't have any fills within gaps (islands), and the surface has to be flat. Here I used vinyl straight from the vinyl cutter as a stenciling material.

I cut a negative image out in vinyl, and applied it to my surface using transfer tape. The round surface of the pumpkin would have been impossible to stencil upon with a traditional stencil. The ability to incorporate islands in the image is evident in the eyes and mouth of the mouse character, as well as the tie and the gaps in the lettering.
