Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel here with a shadow box card featuring the adorable new Love Birds Stamp Set.
To start, I first created my shadow box from scratch. When folded, it measures 5" x 6.5" and can fit easily in a standard 5"x7" envelope. When upright, it measures 4.5" wide by 5" tall. To create my base, I simply trimmed two pieces of white card stock to 5" x 7" and scored each piece at both 1/2" and 5". I die cut a stitched circle into one of the pieces to create a window, stamped my sentiment to the piece with the window, and then attached both the front and back pieces of my shadow box together by adding some glue to the 1/2" tab pieces.
I next stamped all
of my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with some Memento
Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic alcohol markers. I then used the
coordinating Love
Birds Die Set to cut them out. Prior to adding my images to the inside of
my shadow box card, I first die cut a grass panel (from green card stock) and a
fence (from white card stock) using the Picket
Fence Border Die Set. I adhered the grass first directly behind the
bottom opening of my circular window and then added the fence piece behind my
grass.
For my background, I blended some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink onto
a 4.5" x 5" piece of smooth white card stock. Lastly, I added some
hearts using clear acetate in the areas where it would look like the hearts
were floating.
Thanks
so much for taking the time to drop by! I had so much fun working with this
adorable set and hope you enjoyed my card today! For more card making
