Hi,
I have a woodgrain impression mat and dark chocolate fondant - do you have any ideas how to make the woodgrain stand out? I was thinking of brushing a beige luster dust over fondant to see if it would make the wood grain stand out. What do you think?

I would start with lighter fondant and dust in a darker color. Here's a picture of a little piece of a floor I made for a cake topper using the impression mat on fondant:
