I love the idea of a card that can be a turned into a shadow box. I know it sounds complicated but these are ease to make shadow box cards. It is a very versatile card with lots of possibilities, how about putting pictures in the inside? As we have done before, we are going to start building the skills to create more complex shadow box cards. I can’t wait to show you the final one I have in my mind… if I am able to make it LOL.
