The chipboard pieces were painted with a sponge dabber, adding different colours of brown and gray. I then added random splotches of clear Rock Candy Crackle Paint, rubbed over top with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and wiped off the excess with a damp paper towel. I didn't like how glossy the crackle looked so I sprayed all the pieces with Krylon Low Odour Clear Matte Finish. To make them pop off the page more I also applied dark brown marker around the edges of the chipboard.
I didn't like the dark colour I had painted the French Lace Border so I inked over it and then embossed it with Antique Linen Distress Embossing Powder.
Some of the cogs were die cut from different coloured metal sheets. I also sprayed these with the matte spray to tone down the shine and dabbed them lightly and randomly with paint for a more rustic look. I embossed the center of the large gear with an embossing folder.

At the corners (inside the large cog pieces) I stamped more gears with the Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.
