Black-Eyed Susan Shadow Box


Good Morning,

Today I have a 5x7 inch Shadow Box Card.  For instructions for this style card, I followed instructions on Jennifer McGuires YouTube Video - Shadow Box Cards.  On both the top and bottom edges, I used the Score Board to add three score lines. On the inside of the card, I used the Spellbinders Leafy 3-D embossing folder to emboss a 5x7 inch piece of white cardstock.  This shadow box does fold down flat.  

Using Susan's new Black Eyed Susan Die Set, the three flowers were created.  They were die cut using Susan's Specialty Cardstock, colored with OLO Markers.  For the center I used a half pearl bead and glued pollen over the top.  You could cut a Styrofoam ball in half and do the same thing.  Our neighbor has a yard full of these flowers and I was trying to duplicate them.

Susan's Autumn Foliage die set was used for the Acacia leafy branch.  They were did cut using watercolor paper, colored and shaped using the tools in Susan's Flower Tool Kit.  Red Styrofoam berries were added.  

On the outside of the shadowbox, I used the Autumn Foliage die set and die cut the maple leaves.  Ranger Mica Stain was used to color the leaves.  

On of Susan's stamps was used for the Sentiment.  It was die cut using a rectangle die.  A slightly larger rectangle was also die cut and the sentiment added in the center with dimensional tape.  One leaf was added behind the smaller rectangle on the upper right corner.
