- Mix a drop of Payne's Grey with White Modeling Paste. Use a paper towel to pick up tinted paste and dab onto the frame to create texture.
- Spray Violet (Shimmer) Mister onto the frame randomly. Let dry. Once dry, spray White (Shimmer) onto the frame randomly.
- Use E6000 Glue to adhere dimensional flowers to the corners. Adhere a decorative pearl to the each flower center.
