6. Place cardstock that you have already glued on, onto your plate. Then cover it with some more modge podge. Then with a rag push down to get all of the air bubbles out.
7. Take three different sheets of scrapbook paper, but make sure they coordinate for your plate.
8. Start tearing tiny pieces and glue them on your plate. Use a rag to push out the air bubbles.
9. Keep alternating between your three sheets of scrapbook paper.
10. Leave about a inch of your plate (The border for paint)
11. Paint the border and the entire plate your choice of paint. Your might end up painting it twice.
