Nope...still not dyin'. : ) It's just that I had to try my hand at one of these shadow boxes before I do die. I'm just going show you my steps in photo form because I had no instructions. Just made it up as I went.
I used my Tim Holtz disc for the picture of the little girl. I just printed her off.
The strings holding up the cloud and moon went up and through the cardboard above, then I taped them down on top. I distressed the paper a bit and added stamps and postmark stickers.
Christmas earrings I got for 75% at Target after the holidays. I knew I would use them in my crafting.
Very sloppy job of Mod podge and tissue paper on the back, but it sure was a fast way to cover everything.
Clear as mud? Ha-ha! CAUTION...do not try this at home... unless you have an entire day to devote to it. But what a FUN day it was! : )
There is nothing more exciting than to find some marked-down item and be able to create a beautiful new treasure...and you've certainly done that perfectly with this shadowbox. Why don't you consider doing that as a regular feature. I love to see what you're creating. Have a great Sunday M.L.! ~Joyce
Oh girl you have outdone yourself on this one!!!!!!!!! It took me forever to get through the post cause I was just pouring over each detail....TOO CUTE! You know these are the types of things that Bethany Lowe, Nicole Sayre and Larkspur Lane get the big bucks for!!!! You could be M.L. Whimsy Designs!!!!! What do you say???
Oh my GOD! This is so incredibly beautiful! I can't believe you made that out of a frame! Awesome. And thanks for showing all your steps - inspires me to try it sometime! Really came out great!
Actually about that PHOTO! Sara was taking candid photos one night while the whole Fam was at Chick-fil-A. I decided to use it because it made me look younger. When my married daughter ,Emily, saw it she said ever so sweetly (really), "Ah Mom, you're not wearing any make-up in that photo." I said, "Yeah, but it makes me look younger than I am." I chose younger with no make-up as opposed to older (with) make-up. Go figure.
