Good morning, Alicia with you today. I have created a lovely shadow box for my niece. I did not intend for it to be monochromatic, after using Jade PowderPuff Chalking Ink to color the outside scroll work I searched my Quick Quotes paper collection for matching papers, I found some from several different collections that came together perfectly.
I used my PIXMA iP8720 13x19 Wireless Printer to print not only the photograph but the sentiment. I found this great quote when I searched the web. I just copied it, changed the font and printed! I don't like to waste the good Canon paper, so I included several other quotes and a photo on the pages for use later.
I used two different inking techniques on my project either of which could be used for the August Quick Quotes challenge: to use colored inks.
- Inking wood or chipboard
- Inking edges to create dramatic shading
I cut dozens of pieces for flowers using a die set. I inked all the edges with the same Jade PowderPuff Chalking Ink as the outside of the box. I shaped the flowers as I inked them.
After cutting the papers to fit the inside of the box, I added the flowers around the edges. After adhering the quote and the flowers, I finally added some pearls and bling to finish it off.

49 Shades of Grey 102 paper

other products used:
