Altered CD Pictorial

Step 1: Sand the surface to remove the label and prepare for painting. (forgot to take pictures early so I had to snap it during the next phase but you get the idea, right..)

Step 2: Punch holes through the label side (to prevent cracks) with a Crop-A-Dile or Big Bite. You can put tape around the edge and punch through and it will prevent cracks as well but then you gum up your punch.

Step 3: Paint with your favorite acrylic paint. I chose Making Memories Celery. Then After its dry I did a simple blanket stitch around the edge to prepare it for crocheting a border.

Step 4: This was a simple scallop border pattern I learned from www.youtube.com/conicuts super easy and quick.

Step 5: I put a chipboard sticker from K & Co. Flora Fauna collection over vellum so you could still see the bones of the CD. I like the idea of knowing it's humble beginnings.

Step 6: Added Stickles & Studio G glitter glue to embellish the diecut.

Look at the dimension. So cool.

I decided it needed just 1 more thing and added some clear plastic drops to the butter fly body and pink flower center.
