Shadow Boxes


Hello

To make these shadow boxes I reversed a canvas, lined the indent with card, then covered in paper.


For this first box I used Stampendous Hummingbird stamp and die sets, then coloured the images with watercolour pencils. The images were positioned then fixed with glue dots and foam tape. Highlights were added with stickles and star dust pens, then rhinestones added. When dry the frame aperture was covered in acetate, and the frame itself covered in paper. The back of the piece was also papered. Rhinestones and metal dragonflies were added to the frame front, hanging hooks and cord added to the back. The outer sides of the frame were covered in glittered washi tape.


The inside of this box is a laser cut, 4 layer wood design. The pieces are coloured with stardust pens and highlighted with stickles glitter glue and glossy accents.  They are glued to the background. Paper flowers, velvet leaves, a netting butterfly and rhinestones were added. Stamped, coloured and die cut images from Stampendous Build a Bouquet sets, have been added to the outer frame.

These pieces can be displayed on a easel, or hung on the wall.

I hope you enjoy these designs.
Till next time
be happy
