I primed all of the chipboard with clear gesso, then applied clear crackle on to some of the pieces. Once the crackle dried, I painted all of the chipboard with the LuminArt Silk-Oyster. I also inked the edges using a brown ink pad& glued Prills onto some of the pieces.

For the cluster, I used DA Foliage, Shimmer & Shine Blooms, Rose Trim, Burlap flowers I had on hand,& pearls....
