Welcome to Karen Burniston's April Designer Challenge, where the them is 'Bunnies!'. After the Accordion folded card/Slider Box I created for last months Designer Challenge, I knew I wanted to use the Slider Box again. One of the ideas I had as soon as I saw this die set, was to create a shadow box. This was the perfect opportunity!
I used brightly coloured patterned paper and holographic card stock, them pulled out the Easter Charms, Spring Animals, both sets of Nature Edges and the Landscape Scene die sets.
When you pull the ribbon loop, the drawer slides open to reveal a dimensional Spring scene!
Since I don't plan these things out, but instead create with a 'lets try ...' or 'what if ...' style. So I don't have a tutorial on this shadowbox. If I make another one I will at least photograph my steps, but I couldn't do that for this card as I wasn't sure if what I was doing was even going to work! If you are familiar with shadow boxes though, it should be easy to figure out how to create different layers & depths on the side tabs.
The rest of the Design Team is linked on the right side of my blog and I hope you will check out what they came up with for the challenge. Karen Burniston will have her post tomorrow (Wednesday) on her BLOG.

Such a fun way to use the slider box
ReplyDeleteOMG! What a darling scene inside the slider box! TOO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, the bright colored pattern paper really works here, very Easter like. I like the shadow box idea. A very cute scene also.
ReplyDeleteHow creative and fun! Whoever received this sure was lucky!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen the slider box turned into a shadow box before. That opens up so many possibilities. Great design and colors.
