I've just used a piece of cardboard, cut out an aperture (saving the remainder for the insert), covered it in tissue paper (making sure I had lots of wrinkles for some texture) and once dried coated it in black acrylic paint. I then rubbed in some gold metallic rub-ons to create a metallic finish. Added some gorgeous lace from my stash (Running with Scissors), spritzed some cream roses with Glimmer Mist and Diamond Stickles, some pearls were added and I used my Tim Holtz Flourish Die Cut and that's it!!
Well thats it for now as I'm preparing a cigar box (got you one too Sue :O) ) for holding some vintage tags that I'm in the middle of - Have a good weekend
