Autumn Wood Shadow Box by Tracey Fairgrieve

Hello everyone, hope you are all keeping well?

Now Autumn is upon us I would like to share a small Shadow Box that I created 

as a sample for Hochanda using the latest new products from That's Crafty!

Here are those *How to do's* in words and pictures.

Using one of the small shadow box's I pushed modelling paste through the Bare Tree

stencil onto the shadow box base and then painted a scene using a mixture of 

That's Crafty! Shimmer and Multi Surface paints.

With the side panels painted in Metallic Copper and the outer edge of the stencilled

tree framed using Black Gesso the panels are all glued together to create the shadow box.

I will leave it to your imagination on how you see the background tree but I did

base it on trees along a path way but others may see it as a fallen tree.

A selection of That's Crafty! Greyboard surfaces including Trees, Small Leaves, 

Toadstools and a Reindeer have been painted and coloured.

Using modelling paste and a hot glue gun, I layered up the painted surfaces.

The outer edge of the box was made to resemble wood grain by applying modelling paste,

scoring with a fork, painting with Black Gesso when dry and highlighting in Bronze paint.

My Autumn Wood Shadow is complete.

In hindsight I really wish I had created a carpet of fallen leaves and could have separated each leaf to create double the amount as the quality is outstanding.. maybe next time. 

Thank you for your shared time,

I look forward to sharing more That's Crafty! Creativity

with you all *next week*

Stay safe everyone

Creative Hugs

Tracey
