I have made a few of these before, but they were more green in colour. I decided to make these using purple and green embossing powders.
They are made by melting a CD (using the ones that are pushed through my letterbox advertising rubbish!). I cover them in versamark then start adding embossing powder, layer after layer. I then use versamark ink on my rubber stamp and carefully push it into the still hot embossing powder. Once it is cool I then put gold krylon pen around the outside to finish it off.
The best thing about this is that you cannot go wrong really if your stamp moves slightly and you dont like the impression just heat the embossing powder up and do it again
I also used Diamond Glaze to stick the melted CD to my ATC paper/card

Very cool! Do you melt the CD with your heat gun before you start layering or is it just an effect of adding embossing powders and heating over and over again?

Hi Lisa, No I didn't melt the CD first. I used Versamark Clear Ink on the CD and covered it in Ultra Thick Embossing Powder, I then used my heat gun to melt the UTEE, after that I again put Versamark Clear Ink onto the UTEE and covered it in a different colour embossing powder and carried on doing that until I got the colours I wanted.
