Add micro beads, sentiment and melange stones. Splatter with white acrylic watered down a bit. At this step I also added more terracotta velvet to create even more rust around the canvas.

Add white gesso lightly with a brush over florals, molded pieces and small area of your metal object. When dry, add more of the sprays for a bit more color.
