decoupaged

Adhered cutouts artistically

Decoupaged describes something decorated using decoupage—the craft of gluing paper cutouts onto a surface and sealing them with varnish or lacquer.

A decoupaged box, tray, or piece of furniture has images or decorative paper applied and finished to create a smooth, integrated surface: She decoupaged the old dresser with vintage botanical prints.
