TLC101 - Shadow Box Cards

[showmestamper]

Many thanks go to Dawn Mercedes for this suggestion a few months ago and for the link to Dawn5377's awesome tutorial!

Here are some wonderful cards by Dawn Mercedes:
City of David
Fall Leaves

You can find Dawn5377's tutorial here.

ETA: Dawn and Dawn, thank you both for your contributions to SCS and thank you for being so gracious in the light of my confusion of your names and creations. My apologies! and that should teach me *not* to put together a TLC in a hurry after a long, crazy weekend! LOL


I look forward to seeing all your creations!
As always, I am in search of suggestions for techniques for future TLCs! Please PM with suggestions and a link to the directions and/or a sample if you can. Thanks!


If you have questions, please ask. If you have suggestions, please share!

I love Dawn's shadow box card! Glad to see it as a challenge.

[dawnmercedes]

Yeah!

But...the tutorial is a different Dawn...
Dawn5377 on SCS!

(I did promote it though. And the cards are my samples. I bet you didn't know how creative women named Dawn really are!)

[crazycatstamper]

I haven't done one of these in AGES... hmmmmm..... might have to play with this...... Thanks for the challenge!

[bambi64]

Great challenge. Might have to put my thinking cap on.

[reneejul1]

Oh my gosh - you mean I have to try hard Thanks Beth for the push!!

[GuarinoMom]

OK - never done one of these. Thanks for the great challenge!

[Ellibelle]

[jojot]

[Jeanne S]

Thanks to both Dawns & Beth

[squirrellyshirley]

OH, I wish I had done my TV from friday's black and white challenge with this technique......hhmmmm.......thinking thinking........

One question tho, how/where do you actually write on it?? On the back kinda like a postcard?? Just wondering!!

[ctrmom3]

This looks like a lot of fun. I hope I can find some time to play in the morning. Thanks for the great samples, the tutorial and the challenge!!

[TERRORE3]

looks like a fun card to make. can't wait.

[2katjes]

Oh! Oh! Oh! I have an idea of what I can do! (Not tonight, though. My hands hurt from cutting out my new SAB stamps.)

This should be fun!

Do you have the craft (rubber) scissors?? If not, I highly recommend them!

[Runamok]

wow, thst is cool! I've never seen one much less tried it! I'll do one tomorrow--my biggest concern is trying to scan it in, I don't want it to look flat!

[lacyquilter]

Looks like fun. And looks easier than I thought it would be. Thanks, Beth, Dawn & Dawn.

[msdaiquiri]

Here's mine! I saw the challenge was posted before I went to bed and this is my first...not too good, but I plan to play tomorrow and hopefully make a nicer one! ~TFL

Joanne,
If you click on the picture it enlarges so you can read the directions. I had the same problem....
Blessings,

Looks so interesting but will have to wait to play until after work, dinner, homework, kids in bed! Then it's MY TIME, my THERAPY time with stamps and ink! Thanks for the challenge!

[Clownmom]

I have never tried one of these, but I am definitely going to give it a go! Thanks, Dawn, Dawn, and Beth, for giving me a new technique to do -- oh, that's what this challenge is called! Duh!

My mother likes to set her cards on her kitchen window sill so I thought this shadow box card would work well for Easter!
