21 Today Shadow Box

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I used a piece of Heat Emboss Acetate. I popped some CS Clear Varnish Lacquer onto my Craft Sheet. I added a drop of Bluebell CS Intense Pigment Stain and mixed well. I painted it onto my Acetate using a Wide Brush. I then sprinkled some CS Golden Sand Glitterbitz over and put aside to dry (doesn't take long).

I cut the Celebrations Shadow Box out of Coconut White Card. I glued it to my background once it was dry. I made a frame using dies #3 and #5 from the Stitched Square Peg Board Die Set and added it to my Shadow Box using Woodware Foam Tape. I matted onto a couple of pieces of Coconut White Card.

I used tiles from the Alphabet Grid Die and elements from the Celebrations Shadow Box Die Set to decorate my card. I coloured the flame on the candle using Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress Markers.




Here's the one I demoed on Hochanda with Rose Pink CS Intense Pigment Stain instead of Bluebell -

Thanks for stopping by.

  11. Good Morning Julia. I love these two coming of age cards, although I can't get my head around 18 being the new coming of age. 21 is the one for me. These are so cheerful and uplifting. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

  14. These cards show the versatility of the shadow box and alphabet dies. My immediate thought was a preference for the blue..... but then again.....like 'em both!

  20. Love them both. I do this background a bit different but am going to give painting on the color a try as you did. Very pretty and I know more stunning in “real life”.
    I saw your demo on Hochanda and loved your samples then. Had to get all the dies.
    Have a great day,
