Springtime Shadow Box

 

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Hello to you and Hello Spring!  I'm seeing all kinds of little green shoots coming up in my flower beds since the weather has warmed up so much.  That and the beautiful sunshine is making my thoughts turn to making cards with flowers.  The fun fold that I'm sharing with you today is one I saw on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts, where you can find great tutorials.  This card is called a Shadow Box Frame card.  The flower layers are mounted to give dimension to the card front.

Here you see the open card.  Don't you just love the little blue bird perched on the basket!  For this type of card, it is best to use a heavy card stock with designs on both sides.  I used Copic Markers to color the image.

This view shows how much the frame stands out from the card.  Another plus is that the opened card stands up really well.  This style doesn't topple over very easily.
