Snarky Valentine Shadow Box ATSM 2/2020 #375

Welcome Back Friends,

Happy Valentines Day! Robin here with Addicted To Stamps and More Challenge Blog, sharing my project for February. Our theme is a photo inspired.

I love to use found items, recycled items, or second hand items in my projects, recycle, reduce and reuse. I picked up this box for ,25 cents at a garage sale last summer! It was time to do something with it.

I started by cleaning off the window of the box. Next I cut a piece of card board to fit inside the box. I then covered the cardboard with pattern paper. I used a paper distressing tool and ran that around the image. and inked the edges with walnut stain ink. I then created a mat for my image, using corrugated cardboard, inking the edges and covering it with a piece of red lace. After adhering  my image to the mat, I matted the whole piece one more time on pink pattern paper and inked all edges. I hot glued the framed image to the piece with the pattern paper. I them embellished the upper right hand corner with silk roses and pearl picks. I then tied the box shut with the ribbon on the side and hot glued white heart lace around the edge of the frame on the front of the box. I stamped my snarky sentiment  " I thought we agreed, no more garlic bread" ! I repeated the silk roses and pearl picks above the sentiment to tie the project together.

Grab a box and create, then join us on the challenge blog!

Until Next Time......
