Sprinkle spots of the paste with red and silver embossing powder and heat set.

 

Wrap around the canvas jewelry wire in the aiming the center and secure at the back by twisting the two wire edges.

 

Press the metallic heart and the metal silver tone pen nib on the StazOn Blazing Red ink pad, allow few seconds to dry and repeat.

 

Use a sponge dauber to colour the gears with the StazOn Jet black, decreasing the shine and reflection of the silver tone surface of them.

 

Cut a small piece of the May Arts chevron ribbon and glue it on the middle center of the canvas.

 

Continue with the gears, then the heart and the rest of the details using the Viva Jewellery Glue.
