Winter Shadow Box Frame

Happy New Year and to start our challenge over on the Daisy Chains blog this year the theme is "Wintertime".

I decided to make a shadow box frame for my DT project keeping the finished result quite simple looking.

Materials used:-

• 6 x 6 inch shadow box frame ( I picked up from a charity shop)
• clear acrylic gemstones
• mini snowman Christmas decoration from my box of Christmas bits
• Cosmic Shimmer glitter texture paste in ocean spray for my background
• Sentimentally Yours A5 snowflake stencil (borrowed from a friend)
• Christmas tree stamp
• Versafine embossing ink
• few clear gems
• Chloe Endean Wow embossing powder glitter mix in silver
• "With Love  die from my stash
• small piece of white craft foam to die cut sentiment

First I made my background using the Cosmic Shimmer glitter texture paste in ocean spray through the snowflake stencil. I just had enough to make my background.  I had almost forgotten how lush this texture paste is and how it sets perfectly.

I then stamped my Christmas tree onto some white card  and heat embossed it using the silver Wow embossing glitter. I used foam pads to attach it to my snowflake background, giving it a little dimension and then added the gems to the tree.  For the little snowman decoration I used a little hot glue.

Then I added a handfull of clear acrylic gemstones for the base of my winter scene.

This was finished off with a white foam "with love" sentiment.

Have a look at the lovely projects made by the rest of our DT over on our blog page this month
