I started as usual by sandpapering and covering with Gesso. I then put a coat of black acrylic on followed by a coat of red acrylic - then my crackle medium - the crackles weren't showing as much as I would have liked - think it was a bit too cold - so I enhanced them with ink. My Lettering was all covered in various inks and edged with black to give a worn look
