Dare to dream, a shadowbox for PaperArtsy

Hello everyone,

Last Friday I was featured on the PaperArtsy blog with a shadowbox.

The topic (#10) was Paperdolls and as soon as I saw this I had this vision of a paper doll sitting on a flower. So here goes :

This box was in my stash for years. It is a wooden box with a glass window from Ikea. I have no idea why i bought it. lol I started with taking off the back and obscuring the glass which was not removable. I got round that by putting a piece of paper inside the box and a piece of grey board on the outside. 

I made a paper insert for my box because it was easier to use the stencil and model paste like this. When I was finished with it, it just slid into the box. 

I also stencilled on the outside. 

I gelli printed some paper to stamp my flowers on. I used an Ikea coaster and some bottle tops to add texture into the paint. 

After stamping, I cut them all out. I did stamp more in the end... 

I used Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic mixed with glazing fluid to add interest around the stencilling. 

To get rid of the ugly edge at the front (which was the back) I glued sari ribbon along it. 

And this is the finished project ! 

Love how it came out, loved making it.... 

I have used stamps and stencil by Kay Carley

Kay Carley's sets {EKC01} and {EKC08}

Dreamy days of summer

Hallo allemaal,

Hello everyone, 

Vandaag heb ik een kaartje, gemaakt voor Hobbycompleet de Duif,  voor jullie. Ik heb hiervoor de mooie bloemenstempels van PaperArtsy (EKC01) voor gebruikt.

Today I have a card to share. I made this for my DT - Hobbycompleet de Duif. I have used Kay Carley's beautiful flower stamps by PaperArtsy. 

Ik heb 2 van de bloemen gestempeld op wit card stock and deze ingekleurd met Copic Markers. Daarna heb ik de gele bloemen rechtstreeks op de kaart geplakt en de witte met foam tape zodat er een beetje hoogteverschil ontstaat.  De tekst bestaat uit twee stempels uit dezelfde set.

I stamped two of the flowers on white card stock and coloured them with Copic Markers. I then cut them out and glued the yellow ones flat onto my card. The white one is popped up with foam tape. The sentiment is from the same set and actually consists of two stamps.
