Leah Farquharson for Hambly Screen Prints brings us today’s crafty embellishment tutorial.
Wood Veneer Embellishment
Wood veneer has to be one of the hottest items for this year’s scrapbooking supplies! Today I wanted to share some fun I had by adding rubons to some wooden embellishments that I had in my scrapbook stash! I decided that I wanted to dress up my banner pieces a bit to add to the bold, spring look of my card. I had fun choosing colors that reminded me of the first signs of spring when I was a kid.
Supplies you’ll need:
- Hambly papers
- Transparencies and rubons of your choice for your project.
These are the ones I used:
– Garden Party Transparency in Tea
– Diagonal Alley Paper
– Kraft Label Sticker
– Flowers and Feathers rubons in pink
– Flowers and Feathers rubons in Yellow
– Clear Butterfly and Floral Stickers - Ink of your choice, I chose black
- Paper towel
- Plain wooden scrapbook embellishments, I used the banner pieces from Studio Calico
Start by choosing a rubon to add to your wood piece, and applying it. There was a bit of excess hanging over the edge when I finished, so I just gently rubbed my finger along the edge to brush it off and bend it over the edge. I chose not to ink both of the styles of rubon that I chose. I wanted the yellow to stand on its own.
Place your wooden piece on a paper towel or other surface that’s safe for the ink, and spritz it until it’s covered well. Let it sit for just a minute or two, so the ink can soak in a bit. Wood is an organic substance, so each piece will color a bit differently.
Dab the excess ink off of the wooden piece, and attach to your project!
