Seasonal Shadow Boxes - Spring

I made these frames from a tutorial I purchased from Craft Project Central and were designed by Buffy Cooper.

These Shadow Boxes feature all 4 seasons- but today's post features only Spring.  They are very easy to make and my plan is use these as a class project..

All shadow boxes are made using the Colorful Seasons Bundle, the Color Theory DSP,  and the Color Theory Memories & More Card Pack. I added a few other embellishments as well.

Above are the Spring and Summer shadow boxes, but today's post features the Spring Shadow Box.

The tutorial includes a tutorial on how to create a Shadow Box frame but I also found a great tutorial on You Tube here

The Shadow Box Frame is made using Berry Burst card stock (8 1/2 by 11") and decorated with the Color Theory DSP die cut with an Oval Framelit.  The insert and sentiment is from the Color Theory Memories & More Card Pack.

The flowers were made by stamping with Berry Burst ink, two of each of the flowers from the Colorful Seasons stamp set and die cutting them with the coordinating die set.  The flowers were shaped and after adhering two similar flowers together some acrylic lacquer was applied.

The larger flower in the upper and lower corner is from the Flower Shop stamp set.  I have put together a tutorial on how to colour and shape these flowers here .  The leaves were made using the Leaf Punch.

Stamps:  Colorful Seasons, Flower Shop
