Military Shadow Box

I had a custom order from one of my club members to make a couple Military Shadow Boxes. This first one is a 6x8 Shadow Box that she wanted decorated using this stamp set and that the person receiving this one could just display it at home with honor.


I think it turned out awesome and my friend really loved it!! I started with the Courage Stamp Set (that I don't own but now have to buy!!), Hero Jumbo Wheel, Not Quite Navy, Cherry Cobbler & Naturals Ivory Card Stock, Cherry Cobbler 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Natural Hemp Twine, Vintage Brads, Chantilly 1/2" Crochet Trim, Vintage Trinkets and my Color Spritzer.


I just love how this turned out!! I did alot of distressing by tearing and crumpling up the image. After doing that I used my Sponge Daubers and inked up the edges and then inked over the image very lightly.



So what do you think? Do you think some of these might sell at a Craft Fair? Let me know what you think because our Craft Fairs are starting soon!!

Have a great day and stay tuned for the other Shadow Box I made for my friend.

Oh yes, this would sell. It is beautiful. I recommend adding some embossing, even if it is clear. Just a thought.

Not sure if this would sell or not. The last few years in my area (western PA) have had dismal craft fair sales : (
