Shadow Box Swap
My local art group is swapping shadow boxes this month. We could pick any size, so I chose some 3.5-inch square jewelry boxes to work with. I covered the edges with Tim Holtz tape, a la Configurations, then filled the box with images from Oxford Impressions' The Fairest Flower plate. The sweet little girl image is colored with Distress Inks. Since I wanted some 3D action, I added a posy and a little pull out accordion booklet. Here are some shots with the booklet unfolded (sorry for the pitiful photos - after a stormy, rainy day, I just gave up and took them anyway):
The accordion booklet has stamped images from Cornish Heritage Farms.....
...and a few from House of 3 and Serendipity. One down, eleven more to go.... eeeek! I've got an assembly line system going, though, so I'm in the groove.
Hope you have a great week!

Great box, it all looks so pretty!
What a lovely idea and how beautifully executed. Whoever gets your swap is very lucky indeed!
It is such a nice touch to put in the little concertina 'booklet' inside, just lovely!
