Wood
Wooden shapes and tags lend themselves very well to projects with a 'natural' theme. Team them with brown, cream or green paper and cardstock and add some string or raffia for a relaxed, organic feel to your crafting projects.
Paint Acrylics & Brush Markers
Why not use acrylic paints to add colour to your wooden embellishments. This not only changes the look of the wood but adds a protective layer too. Alternatively, if you want to protect your wood but retain its natural colour simply apply clear varnish to seal it. Brush markers work well on wooden embellishments, although the colour comes out a little darker than on paper or cardstock. They are perfect for adding fine detail.
