Shadow box

Simon says Stamp and Show want us to use numbers in our piece this week. A while ago I bought a deep canvas in a sale with the idea of making a shadow box and so I decided to use it for the challenge this week.

To start, I painted the frame of the canvas brown. I then applied some of Tim Holtz's adhesive tape around the back edges of  it to form a frame. Into the cavity of the frame I put in part of a sheet of Tim Holtz's Lost & Found paper stack and added some words onto it. Then I made the various embellishments to decorate the frame - an assortment of grungpaper flowers, a bottle coloured red with alcohol inks with old paper stuck into it, the pins at the top stuck into an old cotton reel stuffed with kitchen paper and painted brown and the film strip. Then came the metal frame in the top right corner, the numbers and words using cork letter tiles. Double-click on it to see all the details. Hope you like it!
