You could also do this the opposite way. Just paint the backer board all white. Then use the cutout top layer as a template to glue the parts on. So the star box and all the red flag lines would be raised. Or change the cut/layers to engrave instead of cut when you make the backer board and use that as a template to glue the parts back on. Ill try that on the next one
