Creative Team Christmas Shadow Box Scene

Creative Team Christmas Shadow Box Scene

by Creative Team member Kathy MacDonald

 

Kathy has created this amazing winter wonderland shadow box scene using many of the Crafts 4U dies. Simply by layering them up and using acetate and lots of foam tape between each layer she is able to create a stunning snow scene that is sure to surprise and recipient.

 

If your confidence is not up to making a shadow box, her design could easily be simplified for a card front or why not turn it into a shaker card!
