Oceans Of Joy Summer Themed Birthday Shadow Box Card with Lexa

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a new technique, the "inside shadow box", that I've learned from Jennifer McGuire's YouTube channel. I just love this kind of simple yet surprising greeting cards, and I think they will make anyone's day. Don't you agree? I used two older stamp sets from Sunny Studio - Oceans Of Joy and Magical Mermaids.

I kept the front of the card simple and adorable. I used the turquoise polka dotted patterned paper from the Polka-Dot Parade paper pad just because - polka dots are life. Yes, I love them that much! I created a circle panel with basic dies, and then blended Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress inks onto it. I also stamped some bubbles with matching dye inks on the background. 

All of the images are stamped with Versafine black ink and watercolored with Distress markers like I always do. I curved the sentiment and stamped it on the bottom part of the circle. The adorable turtle, along with his little friends, are bringing two balloons for someone inside this card.

Ok, this is the most exciting part. When you open the card, it creates a shadow box inside. Look who's here? The little mermaid and her little fellas. I love it so much and I think I will make tons of cards like this in the future. I adhered some of the images in the front panel and some of them in the back to create a proper dimensions.

This is how the card looks from different side. I stamped "happy birthday" inside. I hope you've enjoyed this fun card. Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you next week!
