Inkscape is free and has a pretty good inbuil trace, loads of tutorials for it. What kind of stencil , thin mylar, sandblast rubber...? er.... to spraymount onto some corrugated plastic signboards, then spray 2 colour ;)) Correx being polypropelene is suprisingly hard to paint and it won`t glue, they are printed using solvent inks and UV dryers. 2 colour sounds like sticky vinyl be a better bet.
