... using various shades of kraft cardstock! Simply cut several layers of the same die-cut or punch and glue them together to recreate the dimension of the wood veneer.
I found that three or four layers were enough to give me a decently solid shape. You can see how the un-layered hashtags above are so much less substantial than the @ signs. As I'd packed some arrow dies in my November kit I made goood use of them as well.

I was wondering how you got that thick look - very cool idea. I'll be giving it a try!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea - will have to have a little tinker with the dies at my local crop!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea Jemma. Layers do look so much more effective.
ReplyDeleteKraft is a perfect substitute and layering makes it all come together for an authentic forgery! Thanks for contributing to FOTF!
ReplyDeleteAh yes - I do find several layers - and then inking the edges (giving a uniform look and hiding any unevenness) makes them good forgeries!
ReplyDeleteI could do this with gold cardstock! wink! Great, simple forgery and I think your results are fab!
