My base is a cork trivet that I picked up at my local dollar store. I covered it in DecoArt Media Black Gesso. Reason I picked black is that after Step 2, I wanted the dark tone to peek through the cracks.

Next I covered the whole piece in DecoArt Media Crackle Paint White. On the top of the piece I added a generous amount of the paint so that I ended up with a large crackle. If my paint was put on thinner, then the crackle would be much finer.

Next I sprayed the middle of the trivet with water, then sprayed it with the purple mister and sopped up the excess liquid with a paper towel. I did this a couple of times to get the desired distressing. Next I mixed 2 colours of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics (Dioxazine Purple and Burnt Umber). Then using a brush I covered the sides and brushed in colour from the edges.

I matted the photo in white cardstock, distressed and painted the edges. I cut a strip of corrugated cardboard and painted it with DecoArt White Acrylic paint. Add these to the trivet.

Using Heartfelt Creation dies, I cut out the rose pieces from Media Assemblage patterned paper. Then shaped them with the coordinating shaping molds. I used the white space of the same pattern to cut out the leaves.
