A Beautiful World
Hi readers! TGIF! Also, it’s the last day of February! How did THAT happen? I’m pleased to be returning with a fun shadowbox feature made by Paula Cheney! She has kindly included step by step instructions and photos to help assisting you in making your own version of this project!
Enjoy!
-
Remove small boxes from a 5.5 x 5.5” Configurations box.
-
Paint inside of main box with Distress Paint Frayed Burlap.
-
Adhere 6 x 6” Wallflower paper to back of box with Multi Medium.
-
Use Frameworks- trellis die to cut 3 strips from Ranger Manila cardstock.
-
Add Frameworks to 3 sides of the box with Multi Medium. Make sure to add a layer of Multi Medium over the the top.
-
Paint out the entire box frame with Forest Moss Distress Paint, let dry.
-
Use Tarnished Brass as a highlight over the Forest Moss Layer. Wipe away excess paint with wet wipe to let the bottom layer color come through. Let dry.
-
Use the same technique to add a bit of Weathered Wood Distress Paint.
-
Stamp the front of the box frame with script stamp and Watering Can Archival ink.
-
Use Curvy Banners Decorative Strip to cut manila cardstock banner. Add words from the Remnant Rub – Botanical. Add to the top center of the box.
-
Use Spring Greenery Decorative Strip to cut leaves from Manila cardstock. Paint with forest moss and iced spruce. Set aside to dry.
-
Use the dapper top to paint 3 letterpress numbers.
-
Add Mirrored star to Memo Pin. Push into the top of one of the Letterpress numbers.
-
Cut roses from a matching sheet of 6 x 6” Wallflower paper.
-
Add roses and a few pieces of Ephemera to back of box with foam tape.
-
Cut out Found Relative. Optional: color dress with Distress Markers.
-
Glue 2 game pieces together with glossy accents. Once dry, glue to the back of the Found Relative.
-
Stitch a Custom Heart onto Found Relative.
-
Add Found Relative box (the game pieces on her back make the piece stand away from the back of the box).
-
Add Letterpress pieces to box with Glossy Accents.
-
Add new or vintage flowers, cheesecloth and the painted leaves to the bottom of the box.
-
Punch a hole in the top of the box with a Crop-a-dile for Curio Knob. Add knob and Crinkle ribbon bow.
