the essentials
When you think ofwood veneer, does
yourmind picture dark-paneled family
roomswith orange shag carpet from the
70s? Erase that concept fromyourmind
and replace itwith images of really cool
embellishments, such as die cut shapes
and letters, made from thinwoodwith a
veneer finish.
Wood veneer embellishments are a hot
trend right now and are available in a
varietyof light and dark finishes. These
natural elements add dimension and
texture and can easily be enhancedwith
ink, mist, paint andmore tomake them
versatile additions to any papercrafting
project.Wood veneer has been a staple in
crafting for quite some time but the
latest versions of thesewell-loved
embellishments deserve a fresh look
!
