Mixed Media Shadow Box - Beauty in Simplicity

Hola beautiful crafters,

Wish you all a happy, crafty and a prosperous new year!  

Let's kick start this year with an exciting mixed media project. I have created a simple wall decor piece for you all. 

I have used a shadowbox made from black card-stock and embellished it with chipboards and metal embellishments to create this look. Since I have done a few mixed media projects for beginners, I thought of taking it a notch up for you all to experiment and see what more can be done with the same supplies. 

Here's the video tutorial!

Hope you all enjoyed watching it. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel and press the bell icon for regular video tutorial updates. 

Until Next Time,

XOXO

Shabby Chic Shadow Box Frame

Heya, beautiful crafters! 

I am back with another exciting project for you all. My today’s project is all about layering using various elements and a special focus on Chipboard elements.

Here are simple steps to follow to make one of your own - 

To begin with I cut out pattern paper as per the size of my frames. I distressed the edges with distress tool and then with distress ink. I then adhered them.

Next I added some lace to add a layer in the background.

I used some tubby craft inks and created a border around the edges of my frames using stencils.

After this I stuck my two frames together and arranged all the flowers, clay molds and chipboard elements around my small frame.

Once I was satisfied with my arrangement I stuck them altogether.

I colored my sentiment chipboard with tubby craft ink in mustard color and then highlighted it with glossy accents.

I lastly added some micro beads in gold color here and there.

Here are some detailed images of the final project.

Hope you liked the project and are inspired to make one yourself.

Until next time

XOXO

JK
