A quick shopping trip into my stash resulted in a shadow box, some paint, velvet paper and an idea to make a witch look like she was flying!
To start, I painted the frame of the shadow box with glossy black acrylic paint and set it aside to dry. I spelled out “BROOM RIDES” and “2 FOR $1.00” and stamped onto patterned paper with black ink. I stamped a round border onto white paper.
I die cut and embossed the stamped images, along with a few other sizes and shapes of Spellbinders die templates. One of the circle die cuts is the purple velvet paper. Now this is kind of flimsy, so I backed it with cardstock to give it some stability. I placed the cardstock piece onto an Adhesive Sheet. I peeled off the backing and added the back of the velvet paper, then die cut and embossed it.
I applied Black 3D Foam Squares to the back of each die cut including one in the center of each.
For the largest die cut, I stacked two 3D Foam Squares, one on top of the other, to give it just a bit more of a lift off of the back of the shadow box.
Once the paint was dry I applied Crafty Power Tape to the wood on the inside back and sides of the box. I trimmed the velvet paper to fit and adhered to the inside of the shadow box.
Next I added some bling to the die cuts, and then adhered the stack to the back of the box.
I placed a piece of black cardstock onto an Adhesive Sheet, and then die cut/embossed this for the flying witch. The glass was slid into position in the box and I centered the witch over the white circle, onto the front of the glass. Now she looks like she’s really flying!
I used Crafty Power Tape to adhere paper to wood, velvet paper and glass in creating this whimsical shadow box. 3D Foam Squares add depth between elements.
Thanks for stopping by!
