Wedding Shadow Box

One of my friends from church had asked me to make a wedding card for her. After she ripped my arm off and nearly beat me to death with it, I agreed! If Diane happens to see this, I AM JUST KIDDING!  Working with Diane was a lot of fun!

She is a quilling person and wanted to make some quilled flowers for the piece. While she was looking for her quilling supplies, she found a brand new white shadow box frame. So the wedding card became a wedding shadow box.

She had given me some preliminary background and her ideas for the card/box so I had already chosen several papers and accessories for her to look at.

Here is the final product!

The background paper is from DCWV Luxury stack.  The swirls are from Prima Say It In Pearls.  Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Magnolia-licious.  Butterflies are punched from scraps using a Martha Stewart punch.  Ribbons are from my stash. The sentiment in the upper left corner is from a DRS stamp, retyped to fit the space we had.

Tilda and Edwin are the Bride With Tiara and Groom from Magnolia-cious and are colored with Copics.
Tilda's dress - YR24, Y32  Flowers - B91, YG63, B24  Veil - B000 and Diamond Stickles  Hair - E18, 17, 19, 13  Clear Star Gelly Roll pen was on her tiara and the lace under her bouquet.  A left over piece of the pearl swirls is on her tiara.
Edwin's suit - C9, 7, 6, 4 Hair C00, 1, 3, 4  Cane- C2, 3  Flower - B91, 24  Tie matched Tilda's dress
The sentiment in the lower right corner is a scripture verse.

Here are close up pictures of the different sections of the shadow box.

My friend was so thrilled with what I had created for her, she decided not to add the quilling.  She also asked me if I would consider making two more for her to give as anniversary gifts for her parents and in-laws.  Of course I will!!!




I hope you have enjoyed looking at the Wedding Shadow Box, all of the nifty little details, and maybe got an idea or two for a card or shadow box of your own.
