First: I used crackle paints to make my background border.
I started with the antique linen,and the vintage photo. The bronze I used after.
You will want to dabb around the edges using both colors at the same time
This is super easy and gives a real pretty look to the paper.
Last I added the bronze .
In this picture you can see it real good.Now for the flowers. I used the antique bronze crackle paint on them too.

In this picture I just wanted to show you what the flowers look like before I started. (the bottom 2 are not done here in this pic)

Now to add some shimmer to the dp. I used forever red on the dp, and perfect bronze on the outside dp that I made.

You can see how much water I used on the little bit of perfect pearls. This was enough to do the border.

And here is another picture showing what the dp looks like after I added the red just to different areas. I didnt use it all over the dp.
You can see both in this picture too.
And here is my card all done!!!

On my card I used this darling stamped image sent to me in a swap! Thank you Jackie she is sweet!!!
