Begin by coating the chicken wire and cast heart and flame with gold metallic spray paint, dry off with a heat tool.

To assemble the flaming heart cut a base plate to adhere the heart and flame casts to; out of heavy duty grey board or thin ply wood. Then attach chicken wire to front of heart and tie in place at black using thin gold wire.

When glue is dry begin by distressing the flame using black gesso    

Apply gesso using a soft cloth, and then buff off using a moist wet wipe, ensuring you leave gesso in depressions. Allow to dry.

Apply a liberal coat of vintage coal spray mist to the heart and then mist off partially with misted water. Dry off with heat tool.

Repeat the above step until you get a graduated colouring of the heart    

Adhere old earing jewel to the cast flame with strong clear drying glue, and apply random daubs of glossy accents glue on the cast heart, flame and wire as depicted above.

   

Sprinkle glittery black glitter over areas of glossy accents and shake off excess. Allow to dry.

And there you have it :) :) :)

Cheers and Happy Scrapping :)
