Distressed Gold Paper Tutorial

So i was playing around with paints and paper and i figured out a way to make it the paper look like distressed gold so i decided to make a tutorial. unfortunately the computer decided to make it hard for me to illustrate it... sorry for the small pictures! 1. you will need acrylic paint (I used gold, cadmium red, and ultramarine blue), water, paper towl, a pallet, card stock, rough sandpaper 2 & 3. use a piece of paper towel and some water to smudge and dab gold paint lightly onto the card stock. 4. mix a bit of blue with the gold and apply it to the corners using the the same method. blend. 5. mix some red paint with the gold and apply over the blue areas. 6. sand the edges to give a worn look and scumble it across the surface to add scratches and imperfections.
