Oh my gosh does that ever look real! From the thumbnail, I thought you actually had a weathered wood frame and were showing what you had put in it! I am going to try my scor pal and see what I can do with this technique, thanks for the idea!

Wow! Had me fooled completely...thought it was a real frame. Beautifully done and inspires me to get those metallic creams out again. Great blog, too.
