These are the chipboard pieces I used:

2Crafty Ada's Flourishes

ScrapFx Cogs-Mini

Dusty Attic Cogs1

I painted the cogs dark brown and applied Antique Bronze Distress Crackle Paint.  I then rubbed them with Sandalwood and Rust Gilders Paste Wax and very lightly rubbed some white paint overtop to highlight some of the texture.  

I also did the antique bronze crackle finish on Ada's Flourishes but didn't like how the colour blended too much into the background so I wiped blue and white paint overtop with my fingertip.

For the mat under the photo I took a piece of corrugated paper and brushed white paint over the raised ridges and then sprayed it with Walnut Gold Glimmer Mist.

I rubbed Sandalwood Gilders Paste Wax on the metallic border pieces along the top and bottom of the layout.

Here are a couple more close-ups:
