We have a fun & unique challenge for you at Crafting with Dragonflies: Use a CD on/as your card. Wait til you see all the beautiful and creative DT projects.
I've been wanting to try a mosaic project for some time, and was inspired by the CD Mosaic Tutorial at Make It Easy Crafts. I must admit that I had second -- and third and forth -- thoughts about this once I started cutting up my CD. It was not as easy as I'd hoped; none of heavy-duty scissors made a clean cut, and the silver film kept falling off. But I persevered! The result is certainly funky, which was what I was going for. I used yellow Liquid Pearls for the edging.
We have two sponsors for this challenge: Eureka Stamps and QKR Stampede. I made the background using Brick Wall by QKR Stampede and heat-embossed it in copper.
I created the sentiment in SCAL and cut it twice on my Silhouette Cameo, once in silver and once in a darker silver that I used as a shadow.
This card was inspired by a Baltimore non-profit I recently had the pleasure of making a website for, Mosaic Makers. They work with community organizations to make public mosaics. I was actually familiar with this piece in the Station North district before I was connected with them:
