I have wanted to make a shadow box for a long time now. I decided to have a go at making one for a friend's birthday.
For the shadow box I used my Debbi Moore "My Fair Lady" CD and used backing papers and a topper to make into a many layered picture. For the flowers I used my Debbi Moore "Art Deco Rome" CD.
It was nice being able to use lots and lots of layers as there was a good depth in the shadow box. I added some pearls.
When I put it all together in the box I was not keen on a white mount so I used my Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink and I think this worked better.
It took some time to cut all the flowers out and I inked around the edges with a Pumpkin Spice Versa Magic ink pad.
The box was then finished off with a gold and cream organza ribbon.
What I like with the shadow box is that you can hang it on the wall but the depth of the box is enough so it can stand by itself like on a mantelpiece.
Think I will have to think about making a shadow box for myself in the future.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
613 Avenue Create - Anything goes with the option of watercolouring
Artistic Inspirations - Anything goes with the option of you are it
Ally's Angels - Anything goes
