Shadow boxes, again!

Almost done these, so bear with me!  I made a total of ten shadow boxes tonight, in two different designs.  here is the first, and all of the nativity cuts are from a file from Denise's Scrapbooking Room, where she generously provided the SVG for use in my MTC!!  Thank you, Denise!




The phrase is from Winter Frolic, and I felt like it went perfectly with this design idea.  I did five of these, with two different background papers, both shown in these pictures.  I will post the other design tomorrow.  Thanks for visiting today!

Another shadow box

This one is the snowman from Doodlecharms, cut at 5" tall.  I hand tore some white DCWV glitter paper and pop dotted the middle protion to give it the 3D effect, as well as pop dotting the snowman with double the dimension of the snow "drift".  I know this picture isn't the best, but I had to use my cell phone camera, since my regular camera is currently 50 miles away at my boyfriend's.  OOPS!



Anyway, I also etched snowflakes onto the front of the glass - can you see them?  The title is from Winter Woodland, and for the blue background, I just used a Q-tip and dabbed it ont the ink pad, then the paper in random fashion.  So, what does everyone think??

Shadow box

First, I apologize for my posts being so spotty recently, but I have been CRAZY busy trying to make items and cards for the craft fair I will be selling at in 3 weeks - YIKES!  I ahve TONS of stuff cut, and now the putting together will begin soon!  Here is one thing I got done last night, and it was so simple.  I used black vinyl to make a design very similar to one I saw in an online decor catalog, so I got to work making my own!  I used MTC and Chopin Script font for the wording on each ornament.  Thankfully, the shapes were pretty basic, and I could replicate it rather easily.  The paper inside the shadow box is from SEI Wintersong, which was from last year.



I could not really get a picture that came out well enough to give the full affect - it looks much nicer in person, rather than flat and uninteresting in this picture!  But I think you get the idea.  More to come, so thanks for stopping by today!
