Shabby Chic altered photo frame

I bought this frame from a charity shop in the UK. I papered the frame using patterned paper in a book print design and then added a light coat of white gesso over that to lighten it up. I then used some pretty lace to go around all of the four sides of the frame and added some wedding appliques on the top and bottom corners. I used a strip of tulle fabric and gathered it for the base of the flower and then used a cream fabric rosette and added a pretty pearl and rhinestone centre to the flower by gluing each layer seperately. I added flat back pearls in cream around the edges of the frame to add some interest. I purchased the photograph of the lady from the internet and changed the colour of the photograph to black and white
