Stencil Cut out - Changing the picture to Cut Out in Photoshop

I first collected the image i wanted to base my project on.

I then opened it in photoshop and went onto filters, artistic and then onto cutout. I then divided it into 3 different tones so it gave it detail but also able to cut it out for the stencils i would later create. Using the magic wand tool I separated the individual tones to 3 separate layers.

When i had done this, i then divided up the layers so i could make separate stencils for each of the tones in the image.
