No problem kamerade.

I would size it up on your desk top, print it on light or medium weight card with water-proof ink, and use a sharp craft knife to cut it out. Good luck & post some pics of the finished article???

Salut!

Yeah the only reason I recommend water-fast ink is that I printed my first lot out on non-water proof ink and as soon as I took it in the field and got a couple of drops of water on it, it looked a mess. I used to recommend Epson Durabrite ink, but nowadays my HP regular ink seems pretty good.
