Hey!

I am back (well, not exactly!) with another shadow box post! :)

This is a shadow box I made for one of my close friends (soul sisters) as something
to remember me by! 

Also, the frame I used for the box is an old old tray I kept saving up since I knew some day, in not-so-near future, I would be using it for a project *pat on the back kid*

Supplies:- Tray-Altered; Background-blue and white acrylic paints; Paper-white, red, mustard, brown and beige paper scraps; Embellishments- twig(mother nature!), pearls, white and silver glitter, mulberry flowers, yellow moss; Tools- butterfly punch(Martha Stewart), damask stencil, scissors(frey for grass);

 This was inspired by The Mirror Crack'd June Challenge to create a shadow box.

I chose a lot of bright summer-y colours to match our outfits from the photograph *wink*

I used a twig to hold the "hoardings" I created and connected them with chain-links with hand-doodled notes on each. I wanted to add a bit of "nature" in the layout and I guess I went over-board with the butterflies. But, I guess you can't have enough of those right?

And who doesn't like the glitter clouds? 

This is my all-time-favourite messy use and abuse of glitter! *happy dancing*

For the background I painted the tray with blue and white paint and heat-embossed the damask pattern using a stamp and white embossing powder. And of course clustered a LOTT of butterflies and mulberry flowers!

The project was inspired by Anything but a Card Challenge #48
and Frosted Designs Friday Challenge.

Now a little on personal end,

Okay so I have been super busy with my studies but I proudly announce to you my completion of the fourth-year in architecture school! I made it! (Okay yeah I need to chill, one more year to go! *sigh*)

So I have a month's break before the my training period starts so I am investing that time into building myself a website (with a domain name and everything *LOL*)

I have also been freelancing as a graphic designer, I know! Too much has been going on, and it made sense to finally enter the ETSY world now.
Check out my digital store *here*

Hopefully will be back soon with a few more updates!

--- Happy Crafting! ---

Heylo!

So I'm back, after a long long time, with an altered project!

So.. you know the Indian Wedding Invites that you receive?.. the ones with a beautifully "jhatak" wedding card and a box {with chocolates or sweets or something yumm!}. Well, what do you do after a day or so when you're done with pigging out on all the yumm stuff?

I decided to alter it and make it into a shadow box!

It closes just like a book!

I made this one for my sister. Its all about our trip to Germany last summer and our love for travel!

I am a collector, it might be a sickness really, because I actually made a check-in official rummage through zillions of old baggage claim tags because he accidentally threw mine in the pile.

The clothespin was perfect to hold the Castle ticket {I didn't want to stick it down because it has journaling and text at the back, she can simple take it out to read! *yay*}

Do you see the puffy clouds at the top-right corner?

These were intricately designed {*wink*} using thick paper border with glassine and topped with cotton!

Because I wasn't interested in making a SIMPLE shadow box { and this post inspired me!} 

So, I added a few connections and I made THIS!

I love the clouds lighting up! :D

And one last random up-date!.. I BAKED! :D
