Happy New Year everyone, hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are ready for a new year of crafting fun!!  I choose to use the digi version of Happily Ever After to create a shadow box. For the background and frame around the outside, I started with a piece of sticker paper, removed the backing and placed a piece of lace on top of the adhesive.  The entire piece was glittered using Golden Silver glitter.  The lace was removed and the remaining area was glittered using Silver Dreams glitter.  This is the Lace Background technique, you will find a tutorial HERE on how to create this beautiful sparkly paper.  The shadow box was then cut using a svg file and my Silhouette.  




 The image was printed using the color image and cut out using my Silhouette.  Glitter was added to small areas of the bride and groom using a glue pen, Sparkling Snow and Spirited Green glitter.  



Small dots of Opal Liquid Pearls was added to the bride's hair.



The flowers were die cut using Tim Holtz's Tattered Flowers from white cardstock and inked with Memento Rose Bud ink.  The wedding rings were cut using a svg file from sticker paper and glittered using Golden Silver and Sparkling Snow glitter.  The flowers were layered on the shadow box using pop dots.  A small Pull Ribbon bow was added behind the flowers.  The sentiment was printed, fussy cut apart and placed on frame using pop dots.  Pearls were added to the flowers and frame.

We hope you enjoy the New Reveal Blog Hop as much as we do.  Thanks for joining us and remember to comment on each of the Designers' blogs to be eligible for the Grand Prize.  
 Wonder who the Mystery Host will be this month????

  12. You made the ordinary very special. What a fabulous gift. All the components you put into this piece of art are just perfect. The depth of the box added the perfect format for your design. Adding the flowers to the corner just sets the design off. The sparkle, the rings and the pearls complete the design. You did a great job. TFS
