My project this week was to alter a cd.
I was inspired by the beautiful song of the blackbird outside my bedroom window this morning.
I covered both sides of an unwanted cd with patterned paper from K & Company.
The papers are designed by Brenda Walton from her Maison range.
I used a mini harlequin stamp designed by Tim Holtz to add detail around the edge.
The wording is another of his stamps. The ink used is Distress Ink (walnut stain).
I used my own bird template to cut out my blackbird
& punched two flowers using a Woodware paper punch.
I added three old black buttons, tied with hessian fibre.
The small epoxy sticker was made using a clear dome Papermania sticker
with a scrap of the patterned paper. These add much needed dimension to the project.
I punched a hole through the top using a Crop-a-dile,
which cuts through the cd with ease.
I created hole protectors, from the patterned paper,
using a small Woodware circle paper punch & the Crop-a-dile.
To tie the elements together, I used more of the hessian fibre to form a loop through the top
in order that the project can be hung.
Now every time I look at this project,
I will remember the beautiful sound that woke me from my sleep ...
As usual with all my projects, the back must look good too.
