Now on to my project!
I like to make home decor items, so I decided to turn the frame components into a wall hanging shadowbox. Using the Brook Collection from Crate Paper I covered the frame pieces in different patterned papers and stacked everything together using a large and small jewelry box as the bases for the shadow boxes.
Since is a Birthday themed wall hanging featuring my friend Karyn's daughter, Mallory I used the accent flower stem and leaf as the candle and flame. My friend Doris created the Ladybug cake, so we had to take a before and after photo of the cake - the only thing left of the Ladybug was her head, but she was delicious!
I used Pop Up Glue Dots on a Roll to "pop" up the layers giving the piece more depth. And since I love to distress most everything I make I inked all the edges of the frame pieces with Clearsnap Color Box Fluid Chalk Ink in Chestnut Roan. I embellished with some twine, rhinestones and buttons. The framed shadow boxes are hanging from a lenght of 1.5" Apple Green grosgrain ribbon from May Arts that I pleated by scrunching it as I ran it through my sewing machine.
