Mixed Media Shadow Box - Crece T

Hello everyone, Crece T herewith you today and Welcome the start of March. Today I'm sharing with you 2 projects, a Shadow box and a layout.

 

  

Mixed Media Shadow Box

 

 

Hard to think that this plain shadow box went from this....

 

To This....

 

 

 

First I started with Gluing down the 'Stones' from the soon to be Available Corrugated Shapes.

I then used the chipboard Tree, Gum Leaf cluster and Kangaroos from CB5149 Australia 01 and glued them to the shadow box.

 

 

 

 

I then Painted all over the chipboard pieces and 'Stones' with Black Gesso.

While that was drying I put the rest of the shadow box together and painted the 2nd layer of the front of the shadow box gold, to show contrast for later.

 

I carefully attached the photo of my Son Andy feeding a Kangaroo to the base of the shadow box, then glued down the 2nd layer of the shadow box (gold painted one)

 

I then placed the Top layer that I covered with Black Gesso using some strong glue.

To colour I used some earthy coloured waxes and gently rubbed the colour over the chipboard pieces. I love this effect as it really makes the chipboard pop.

 

 

 

To Finish it off I placed the oval shaped title "A Wonderful Day" from CB1242 Scrapwords 28

to the top of the shadow box.

 

 

 

HOHOHO

 

 This was a quick little layout I created using Stencil 9061 Stars A6 to create a simple background.

I stared by brushing some lime green paint onto some cardstock and then using some modelling paste and the stencil I got a lovely starry background.

 

To keep with the 'Star theme' I then painted with gold CB5138 String Circles 02 and placed that to the bottom right of the photo/paper cluster.

I felt it needed some MORE stars...so I used some stars from CB1249 Stars 04, I also painted them Gold to keep the flow going.

 

 

 

To finish the layout off I used the words, Christmas, Memories & Together

from CB1211 Scrapwords 13
