Shadow Box Card: Easter Blessings

Many of our holidays started with religion and throughout the years have somehow lost their meaning. I have made this card to bring the meaning back to a very widely celebrated holiday.

 I began this shadow box type card using the MTK  “Message Of Grace” and  “Christian Fish” dies and after cutting each one, I made base layers for them. Afterwards I distressed each of them (including base layer) with Tim Holtz distressed inks, as I did with each  layer of this card.

 The flowers are cut from a Stampin’ Up flower punch, which I then also distressed with ink and used a water brush to add the texture lines. Using a stylus I gave each flower texture and added a brad for the centers. The leaf flourishes are from Memory Box. The card was completed with over 100 flat back pearls. All the elements and layers come together and give this card great depth and definition.

 

Grand Wedding

Every wedding has a limousine, bride & groom, and lets not forget the lovely walk up the grand staircase past the wall of ivy. The “pièce de résistance” is the grand windows!All of these dies are from MTK.

To make the grand windows, I took my die cut, then cut a base layer out of acetate and  glued both layers together. Then using my Chameleon pens, I colored the back side to create the stained glass effect.

The brick wall was created using a stampin’ up ink pad and dabbing it on a Tim Holtz embossing folder before running it through my bigshot, giving it an aged look.
