Yes I finished my shadow box. Don't think it is too bad for a first attempt.
Today was all about arranging the bits and bobs. I also had a rummage for old jewellry and came across a few of mum's old pieces. Most of what she had was costume jewellry, but now it will go into more shadow boxes.
I really enjoyed making this. It was a challenge, the frame wasn't that big, so finding things that were the right size wasn't easy. I used a few dies that rarely get used, and a stamp I've only used once. The gold scallop edge is some of that card I found, I used a scalloped frame die to cut it, just using one side. The musical notes came from a freebie in a magazine, and I still have a lot of the kit, which will be perfect for the next shadow box.
There are a few other projects in the Craft Stamper mag that I intend to try this week, one involves the gelli plate. Another I noticed was made up from a stamp set that I have. I just hope my mojo doesn't do a disappearing act again. I think I got stuck in a rut, just doing the same old stuff, now I feel refreshed.
Have a good week, enjoy this warm weather as by the end of the week it will be cold.
Thanks for stopping by.
