Christ Reigns!

I just finished this ATC using an old CD as the base.
How did I make this beauty?
Well.....
1) I heated the CD in hot water.
2) I then measured and cut the diskette using a pair of old kitchen shears.
3) Next, I sanded the edges of the now rectangular shaped CD.
4) I applied a primer to the one side of the CD.
5) Next I painted the surface with copper metallic leaf paint.
6) Once the paint had dried, I sponged on raisin colored alcohol ink.
7) I then used Paper Clay to mold the heart around the center hole of the CD.
8) While the clay was still wet, I inserted the cross charm.
9) When the clay had dried, I removed the cross charm and sanded the heart.
10) Next I painted the heart and once the paint had dried, I glued the cross back into position
11) Then I adhered swarovski crystal flat backs around the heart's perimeter.
Voila! I new ATC is born!
