On my piece of cardboard I glued some cheesecloth, silk leaves and mini flowers. Covered in tin foil, sprayed with flat black Krylon primer. Used steel wool to rub off color in places. This brings up more of the texture of whatever you used underneath the foil. It is very cool! (Don't be concerned if you don't see the texture right after you add the foil. The magic seems to happen when you spray paint it.)
Embellished with some paper flowers, rhinestones, a piece of chain, metal sentiment. I used a regular bottlecap, put a floral sticker inside and then crimped all of the edges and added some Crystal Effects to the center.

The texture you got under your foil is amazing, it looks almost organic, and yet very sculptured at the same time. The ball-chsin and bottle cap are fun additions to go with the pretty posy.

This is an awe-inspiring way to create metal bg's other than using an ef.
Love how you combined other metal elements & floral. Your finished piece is charming!
