Yacht Club Shadowbox

Ahoy, friends! I'm up on the

CARTA BELLA PAPER BLOG

with a nautical shadowbox that I’ve decorated with pieces from

I started with a 10X10 shadowbox frame with an 8X8 inset.

I removed the back of the frame and used it to begin building my design on!

I chose the“Nantucket” paper for the main background and then began adding

clusters of embellishments. I also added a border to the top and bottom

of the paper with the Woodgrain Washi Tape.

To the lower, left corner I used the largest label die from the

Designer Label Set #5 and die-cut the design from side B of the

of theEphemera label pieceswith foam adhesives. To the center of it, the

chipboard sailboat and various stickers and enamel dots were attached.

Now that the inside of the shadowbox has been decorated, it was placed back

inside of the frame. I outlined the front of the glass with a trim of red/white/blue

twine and some fabric glue.

To finish off the shadowbox, I covered the front of the frame by cutting a piece

of the “Swimsuits” paper(side B) to just slightly less than 10”X10”.

Next, I cut an 8”x8” square from the very center of the paper and then attached

to the front of the frame. The edges of the paper were inked with a walnut ink

to carry out the rustic, nautical feel!
