••• Mixed Media Altered CD •••

Hello My Crafty Friends, This is Archana here, today I come up with super simple yet beautiful Mixed Media Project i.e. Altered CD using this month’s released stamp-set called "Grunge Gears Background",

So this is what we are going to create today :

Step by step pictorial tutorial:

Step One:

To create background I stamped Image from stamp-set called "Grunge Gears Background", Its an amazing stamp set one should have in there stamp collection, I stamped image on white premium card-stock from Craftyscrappers, Again another must have product, the cardstock is matt finish so any stamping image or sprays goes really well with it.. This is how it looks :

 

Step Two:

I glued down this stamp image on CD and colored it using Craftyscrappers Shimmer sprays "Muddy Pool"

Step Three:

Next I ripped some corrugated cardboard, also color it with same shimmer spray, apply some silver embossing powder & heat set it, I also distress the edges with black ink pad.

Step four:

I made circle using thin silver wire, I glue down corrugated cardboard on CD and then placed circle wrapped wire on it. I also added some shaker elements from Craftyscrappers called " Midnight Party", Next I took pieces of skewer stick and metal butterflies & colored it using black acrylic as you see in image below:

 

Step five:

I glued down all the elements on the CD using PVA glue and to give shimmer and sparkle I apply Shimmer paint metallic lustre "Bronze" using dry brush technique. Next I used dotted pattern stamp from stamp set called "INSPIRE” and apply some bronze embossing powder and heat set it to combine everything together. I also fuzzy cut sentiment from the same background stamp set and apply silver embossing powder and heat set it.

 

Step six:

I glued down the sentiment  to the project and to lift those sentiments bit upwards I glue down some cardboard pieces behind the image and paste that on project, you can used double sided foam tape for this process too, I also added silver pearls and distress the whole project using black ink pad and  Taaaaa-Daaaa, this is final look of the finished Project.

Here are some close up pictures of this project:
