You will also need the mask that I'm using in this tutorial. The mask is from Karen's Creations and you can download mask kc-037 here.
You will also need an image of your choice. Click here if you wish to use the same image that I'm using. If anyone knows who the artist is of this lovely graphic, please email me so I can give proper credit.
You will also need this glittergold pattern for your frame or a pattern of your choice. I did not create this pattern; I received it as part of a download for a tutorial that I did; if this is your creation, please email me and let me know so that I can give you credit for your pattern.
