i'm not too sure I understand what you want to do. Is it to glue a whole picture onto the board or to cut the letters out and glue them to the board? Decoupage is "my" craft and I never use mod podge. Just Elmers. These glass plates were decoupaged with cut out bird images, then they were painted (all this done from the back) If you want to glue a whole page of something to a board, just decide an attractive arrangement and glue away!
O.K. I get what you want now. That would be very cute. Have you ever thought of using an old window that might have the divisions already? Yes, you could definitely glue something like that style letters on anything really. You're looking for something extra on the letters themselves, but don't care if it is a whole sheet around them. The only thing about using a real photo v. a printout of one, is that the weight of the photo paper would make it a little trickier to handle, but maybe you just want the photo to be printed on copier paper anyway. Don't worry about the skill of a craft. The concept is always more important. You can learn the procedures.
Good suggestions, thank you!
I think I answered this but don't see answer so here goes again! I would use a computer copy as a real photograph's paper is kind of heavy. Although I cut out the actual photos on this border, I then glued them to paper the right width and took them to UPS to copy. T hat made the project flat. If you do use copier paper make sure the ink is not water soluble as the glue would make images run. If it is, then use a spray fixative to protect the paper. But with new printers that will probably not be a problem Leafing through some old magazines I came upon a letter like I think you are talking about. Cut it out for future reference. Good luck!
Decopaging is a lot of fun. The pictures will also be protected by the hodge podge that is used to decopage.
