Well, as the title says, I've been asked to attach a piece of card stock, i.e. wedding invitation, to a piece of wood and to protect it somehow.... I thought about trying my luck with decoupage, but I'm not so sure that'll work on this venture as it seems to involve covering the whole piece with the glue solution. Then again maybe that's not a bad thing.. This plaque will have a poem wood burned on one section of a piece of Cypress, I think, and my wife wants to have the wedding invitation on the adjacent section. I suggested attaching the card to the wood using some decorative push or upholstery pins with maybe a little glue on the backside and that seemed to go over fairly well. However, I'd like to do something to protect the card stock from the elements and am not quite sure how it would hold up applying a WB poly over the card while top coating the entire plaque. I'm wondering if maybe a couple of sprayed coats of WB poly or shellac would prevent subsequent brushed on coats from damaging the card stock.. :eusa_thin I'm hoping to get an extra card or two to experiment with, but don't want to waste any learning the hard way if anyone has done something similar before and can share some tips. I'm on a fairly tight runway as usual, so hoping to get the extra cards soon and start experimenting.
TIA,
