Shadowbox Merry Christmas







I started with the basic softboard triptych shadowbox from SnipArt.

I want this shadowbox to become a present for my lovely mother-in-law. So the Rosy Cosy Christmas paper from P13 was the basic for the sides and back of the triptych.





In the left square i used some salmon Chrysanthum, some silver balls and stars, some red bell

To give it a nice, vintage look i used foamtastic Gaza, which i made silver with acrylic paint.


The Snipart Snowflakes & Stars were painted with the Inka Gold Silver.


Never use your fingers to pickup the inka gold directly from the pot it  can get moudly. Take some out with a spoon on your craft sheet, add some water to it if necessary than you can use your finger or a pencil the paint the softboard. 


The banner on the background were made with the Bannerpunch from Vaessen Creative.

Offcourse red/white bakerstwine is perfect for the Christmas



In the middle i paced the Merry Christmas text from SnipArt. Offcourse again in silver with Inka Gold Silver..

To give a bit of sprakle is used the nice and glittering Acrylic Ink from 13arts. Never saw more glittering acrylic ink than this one. To lovely. 
You really should try it....

The big flowers are Chrysanthum from mulberry paper. The holly branches and leaves are cut out of the Rosy Cosy Christams paper. from P13.

Offcourse again some gaza and bakers twine to make it a nice bundle in the lower right corner.

To give the flower a more vintage look i used a 'mop-brush' (sorry do not know the right name in english) and some gee-sssoo good gesso.

To give the leave and branches a nice look  i used Hint of Pesto Versamagic ink . Besides the bigger flowers is used some small red and pink roses from mulberry paper.
Offcourse again some silver stars and balls for the real christmas feeling.





The right part from the triptych shadowbox has some dotted paper on the back. The paper with the holly leaves was glued on some thicker cardstock with the red/white bakers twine under it. All this lovely paper is from the collection kit from P13.

The silver star are from SnipArt. painted with Inka Gold Silver . As is the ChristmasBall.
In the left corner some gaza and some small silver balls were used as a base for the little bells and the flowers.


Again some extra sprakle with the acrylink from 13Arts.

Every part of this Shadowbox was 'glued' the extra heavy gelmedium from Talens.

To put some sparkles on the back side of each part of the shadowbox i used the SlapItOn matte from IndigoBlu. This lovely medium is really matte and thin enough to use with a small brush. I make it possible to stick the glitters on the back side of each squar.
