The inspiration for this is Qbee's gorgeous Shadow Box Angel: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers These shadow box cards are so much fun to make, and if you want to try one, here's the link to Qbee's wonderful project sheet that she so kindly posted in the Resource forum: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
The images are colored with the Stained Crystal technique (Technique Junkies Newletter - Oct/Nov 2003), which is Crystal Effects (about three drops) colored with classic reinker (one drop). For the back panel of the shadow box I used a resist technique called Ghost in the Shadows (Technique Junkies Newsletter - Aug/Sept 2005), but without the "ghosts" and done on an angle to match the windy streaks in the Cardinal stamp, which is pretty hard to see in the scan. Because the back panel is made with white paper, if there's a light source behind this shadow box it lights up very nicely.
