Ok now on to the shadow box. The 3D Landscape Shadowbox Frames and 3D Portrait Shadowbox Frames can be purchased at Crafty Secrets. Each package includes 3 sets in assorted colors.
All of the cut out images are from the Creative Scraps Altered Fairies sheet from Crafty Secrets and I added glitter to the images.I tried to get a nice close-up showing the glimmer mist. This is so pretty with all of the glimmer and sparkle! I also used Flower Soft to give the appearance of moss.The sentiment, Believe in Yourself is simple but true! The frame is from Tattered Angels and the roses are from Prima and I added some chunky glitter to them. The rhinestones are from My Mind's Eye.
