When I saw this stamp set I knew I wanted to do something with different depths, just like she was actually standing at a window, dreaming about shoes! This is my version of a shadow box card. It's hard to tell in the pictures but the shoe display is inside the shadow box. I cut the square for the window then covered the opening with acetate so it would look like a real window. Then the woman is on top of the shadow box looking in the window. Confused yet?! Here's another picture that might help:

I used the awning from the Meet Me at the Cafe set and attached it so that it also sticks out from the card like a real awning would. The brick paper I created on the computer and printed onto gray Bazzill paper. All the patterned paper is from Basic Grey.

The Beginning

Well, I've finally gotten around to starting my own card blog! This is probably the worst time of year to start it since I'm so busy with holiday stuff, but I like to make life difficult for myself.

Here's my first card. Sorry for the bad lighting - I was in a hurry the day I took it.

This is my version of a shadow box card - on this one I used a fairly narrow shadow box. I painted the Tilda image with watercolor paint and an aqua brush. I made the flowers with a Cuttlebug die and then constructed them and used brads to hold them together.

In this view you can see the shadow box aspect a little better.

Thanks for visiting!
