Todays card is a case of 2 different Shadowbox cards, one by Kim Fee and the other by Candi Suriano. Be sure to check out their cards, they are awesome.
Shadowbox cards are so easy and fun to make.
What you need:-
1 x A5 basic white card, score at 1.5cm and then 3cm. Rotate 180 degrees and score again at 1.5cm and 3cm. Cut card in half. Burnish and crease all folds. On the front, cut out a circle using the 2nd largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. On the pack piece, colour using strawberry slush, timid tiger and darling duckling with blending brushes. This is the backdrop for our boat.
1 x 10.5cm x 3cm basic white, stamp with the Painted Stripes stamp set, firstly in cloud cover, then move to offset the stripe and then stamp in secret sea. Cut in half to give you 2 pieces 1.5cm x 10.5cm.
1 x 8.5cm x 8.5cm basic white, stamp also with the Painted Stripes stamp as before. Using the 2¼" circle punch, cut out the centre. The circle will be discarded, we will use the negative.
Using cloud cover, cut out 2 small clouds and one strip of wave from the dies from the accompanying sunrise sailing die set, then out of secret sea cut some birds and then another wave. Cut also the small boat and sails. Assemble the sail on the boat.
Line the circle negative 8.5cm piece with the front panel, with an even border. Adhere in place. Layer the 2 waves together with the cloud cover on the bottom. Attach to the front of the card covering the bottom of the circles. Stamp also the sentiment under the waves.
On a 1cm x 7cm piece of acetate, attach the boat using glue dots to the right end of the acetate. to work out placement, lay the base flat, then put the acetate with boat attached to the left then layer the top, manoeuvre the piece until it sits on top of the waves. Glue to the back panel inside the first 1.5cm fold. Attach front by adding glue on the front panel inside the 1.5cm fold. Attach to back. Repeat the other side. Crease all folds and watch the sail boat float over the waves. Decorate with the clouds and seagulls. Attach also the 1.5cm strips to the creased folds.
Stamps used: Painted Stripes, Beautiful Butterflies (sentiment)
Dies: Sunrise Sailing, stylish shapes (circle), 2¼" circle punch
Card: basic white, cloud cover, secret sea
Ink: strawberry slush, timid tiger, darling duckling, secret sea, cloud cover

Another Memorable Blooms sneak peak. This card will be one we make in class this month!
Intricate dies, like this flower look stunning in black with a splash of colour in the background. A great technique for masking and sponging and with a bit of texture with the Element of Text which fits perfectly in the octagon shaped window. The flowers really pop and stand out on the sponged masked background.
Stamps: Memorable Blooms, Elements of Text
Ink: coastal cabana, daffodil delight, memento
Paper: Basic white, basic black, summer splash
Tools: Memorable Bloom dies, water painters, Isocol rubbing alcohol
Todays card features the CTMH Periwinkle cardstock - with it being 2 toned gives the perfect tonal effect for the layered effect on the focal image. To make the flowers from the memorable blooms dies pop, sponge blueberry bushel over the flowers to give them definition.
