Woodsy Wonderland Shadow Boxes - Heartfelt Creations

Hello

When I bought this Woodsy Wonderland collection by Heartfelt Creations, I felt it would be perfect for Shadow boxes.


For this box I used a 20cm canvas and reversed it. 
The inside was lined with a green leafy paper from Kaszazz. 
The woodgrain paper was wrapped and secured to the back making sure it was large enough to wrap up and over the sides and front edges.
I stamped, coloured and die cut lots of the images from the collection, then arranged and layered them in using foam mounting tape and chipboard pieces for the different levels.
 Glitter glue, gems, glossy accents and sparkly pens were then used to highlight selected areas. When all was dry, I placed acetate across the front to protect it. The woodgrain paper sides were then secured over the edges using mitered corners.
 Additional stamped and die cut images were added across the bottom on the outside of the acetate and paper. All gluing was done using Multi medium matte, and this was also used to seal the outside surfaces.


This mini shadow box was the first creation.
An 8 x 10 cm mini canvas was reversed for this.

The easel and the edges of the  frame were coloured with an alcohol ink marker.
The back of the canvas and the inside of the box were covered with patterned paper.
The prepared images were layered and mounted inside the box. 
Acetate was attached to cover the outside using  multi medium. The glittered hearts and the trees were added to the outside using glossy accents, and were then coated with the glossy accents.

I hope you enjoy these shadow boxes an much as I enjoyed making them.

Till next time
be happy
