Overall I'm happy with the outcome of my papercutting piece. In a way, I wish I had put more detail into his face, instead of the basic outline of eyes/nose/mouth.
I have placed the original Tyvek cut out onto black sugar paper and cut around it, so there is a small black outline around the portrait and cut more into his beard in order for it to stand out. I then stuck that onto another Tyvek sheet, where I cut out the triangles for the background before layering it again onto another sheet of black sugar paper.
