1. I glued down the piece of paper to cover the first 1/3 of the page and glued a piece of old book page 1/2 way down the join.
2. Then I tore triangles from the burnt orange paper and glued them onto the edge of the paper join.
3. Using a spatula to spread gesso over the triangles to soften the edges.
4. I coated the chipboard words, letter 'h' and the outer section of the chevron with black acrylic paint
5. The solid chevron arrow sections and the letter 't' I painted blue and the hearts red.
6. I used watered down paints to place splats over the page.
7. When the chippie was dry I covered each piece with Glossy accents and left to dry overnight.
8. The 'Cogs' were painted black and then I melted layers of Copper and Bronze Metallic melts over the cogs with a heatgun.
9. I stamped an image from the 'perfume' stamp onto a piece of the paper I plan to use behind the photo.
10. I made a stack of assorted papers and cardboard and glued the photo on top, using the black wire thread to frame the photo.
11. Placed the cogs and chevron arrows into place, the cork arrows, alphas and words to finish off the page.
