PROCESS:

I glued strips of pages from an old dictionary to the canvas using mod podge. 

Once dry I stamped my design using a La Blanche Stamp, cog stamp & archival ink. 

I cut a heart shape from card and glued on some die cut cogs. 

Using a Cosmic Shimmer rust kit I made the heart look industrial buy building up the different browns/oranges. The paint has a gritty texture which adds to the effect. 

I glued the heart onto my canvas and with a thick nibbed black Posca Paint marker, I drew around it and smudged the paint out so the heart popped. 

I also added some Decoart antiquing cream into some of the crevices for a patina look.

I finished this with a sticker sentiment from Tim Holtz Chit Chat range & I inked around the canvas edge with my archival ink to frame everything.
