A Vintage Metal Tray Makeover

Hi Sweet Friends, I wanted to show you my latest project that I have been working on! This vintage tray had been in my friends garage for awhile and asked me what I thought might give it some Oomph!!! Is that a word?? Lol... Well anyway I suggested to her to paint it aqua!!! I had seen some lovely vintage trays lately painted this color and suggested to her that it might be just the thing to give it some Oomph appeal. The tray was a lackluster black with a faded bird in the middle. She painted it Aqua but it still needed an added Oomph to it!  She handed it over to me and asked me to "Do something with it!!!" I added some gold leaf where the original paint had bleeded through the aqua. I also had some very pretty paper from the Paper source shop...a lighter shade of aqua and glued it down onto the tray. I also used some PVA glue on the top as a sealer and protector. Viola a pretty Aqua Magnet Tray!! This tray was meant to hang on a wall as it has
