I used a freebie CD to cut a freehand ice shard for the base. The Tonic Studio scissors go through easily and I find if you warm the CD up a bit with your heat gun first to soften it you're less likely to have it crack or shatter as you cut.I covered the snowflake flourish with a couple of coats of silver UTEE and rubbed pearl and turquoise Perfect Pearls onto it while it was still warm, concentrating more colour towards the bottom of the shape.
A couple of smudges of Glossy Accents to hold a little sprinkling of silver micro beads finishes it off.
Supplies:
Snowflake plaque by Tando Creative (find Tando stockists here)
CD
Versamark by Tsukineko
UTEE (silver)
Microbeads (these are actually steel ones sold for nail art)
Glossy Accents (as adhesive)
Perfect Pearls by Ranger (Perfect Pearl and Turquoise)
Brooch pin
Thanks for stopping by!

wow Joanne you would never know that wasn't glass! An old CD and some chipboard - you have worked wonders.

That is one cool brooch,Joanne! I'd never have thought of using the heat gun on CDs, which is strange because I love to heat and burn stuff (for craft purposes, I hasten to add!)
Absolutely beautiful!
