Here's how I did it: A friend of mine distressed the wood she wanted to use for the sign, so that part was already finished. I used my vinyl cutter to cut the words "Sandy toes and salty kisses". Instead of removing the extra vinyl from the letters, I removed the letters to make the negative image.
Then I attached the vinyl to the sign and painted over the letters.
I let the paint dry for about an hour, then carefully removed the vinyl.
This makes such a great personal gift. If you are crafty and want to try your hand at vinyl stenciling, please let me know. Any vinyl I cut can be weeded with the negative image for stenciling!
