Cardz 4 Galz #70 April Showers Shadowbox Card [04.26.2018]

Hi! Today's card is for the Cardz 4 Galz #70 April Showers challenge. So, when I think April Showers, I of course think of Lawn Fawn's sweet little ducks from the Rub a Dub Dub stamp set, and some umbrellas and rain drops from Lawn Fawn's Hello Baby stamp set. This is what I created to show April showers, which bring spring flowers! Woo hoo!

I stamped out the duckies and sail boat from Lawn Fawn's Rub a Dub Dub stamp set, and the clouds and umbrellas from Lawn Fawn's Hello Baby stamp set, using my Tonic Tim Holtz Stamp Platform. I stamped them out with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, a Copic friendly ink. I colored the images, then reinserted the stamped cardstock back into my Tonic Tim Holtz Stamp Platform, inked up the images (which I had not moved) with Versafine Black Onyx ink, and stamped the images again. Then, I sprinkled on Sparkle N Sprinkle's Clear Detail embossing powder and heat set them. I die cut them out with their matching dies, and then also die cut out the Shadow Box die with my Tonic Tangerine machine! LOVE this machine!. I also die cut Lawn Fawn's Meadow Borders meadow grass and tulip dies. I added some Copic coloring to the tulips, and blended some distress ink onto the grassy borders. I also die cut out the Shadow Box pieces with Lawn Fawn's Quilted Backdrop die and layered white paper inside the Shadow Box to allow the quilted die cutting to show up really well! Here is a side angle of the Shadow Box to show a bit of the dimension.

I also stamped some of the clouds and rain drops from Lawn Fawn's Hello Baby stamp set inside the Shadow Box. And, then I stamped the rain drops onto Sparkle N Sprinkle's Embossable Acetate, with Versamark Ink. I sprinkled on Silver Lightning embossing powder and heat set it. I trimmed the acetate into strips, and adhered the rain drops all around inside the card. Here is another shot of the dimension and it also shows the layers better and all the fun rain drops inside the card!

I am also going to enter this card into Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #27: 3-D cards. This was a fun card to make, and I love how dimensional and fun these Shadow Box cards are. I look forward to what you create and post in the Cardz 4 Galz #70 April Showers challenge.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a magical day!
