Shadow Box Easel Card - Boat On The Water...by Janet

 Hello Ai Fans!

Today I've got a new card featuring the new Boat Window Accessory Set and the new Shadowbox Window Die. 

The boat and cabin scene is so peaceful and so easy to quickly color and work with. It's a mini scene that is great alone or combined with other scenes. The new releases include a Shadowbox Window die for a 3D element that can be used with any of the Window sets. The boat in this scene can be used in many ways to add dimension and perspective to the scene.

These little window scenes are perfect to color in any way you like. I chose to watercolor my window scene using Zig Clear Color Pens. I added shine to the water with a coating of clear Wink of Stella. The sparkle reminds me of lake water on a summer day. My little personal touch is the red door. My house has a red door so I usually color doors red as a nod to my own home. 

Zig Clear Color Pens Used:
May Green, Deep Green, Light Green, Green, Deep Blue, Persian Blue, Cobalt Blue Oatmeal, Light Gray, Mid-Gray, Dark Gray, Gray Brown, Black, Dark Brown, Beige  

I have a video on this card and show you how to make a 5" x 7" easel card with basic supplies. You'll also see how easy it is to install the Shadow Box Window Die to create really stunning dimension.

Like many card makers, I love patterned papers and I try to use them to make my cardmaking a little easier. This 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" paper caught my eye and I've been waiting for an opportunity to use it. It has rose gold foil details and pretty vintage bird and floral images. I splattered the card with watered down white acrylic paint for additional rustic vibes. The window sets pair beautifully with the new Shadow Box Window Die 5408. It comes with the dies to recess your image behind the window frame and includes a window box. It lays flat when shut but pops up when the card is opened. It's a great way to add some unexpected dimension to your card.

I thought it would be fun to create an easel card with this so that the window would be at a perfect angle when displayed. I made my own 5" x 7" easel card base and used the Rectangle Double Stitched Dies to make a stopper and a birthday sentiment. When displayed, the box part of the die is free to pop up and provide the 3D effect it is designed for. I placed the boat on the outside of the window frame but it could also be used inside the shadow box or not at all. You get to decide!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed this card and seeing the cool effect that the Shadow Box Window Die provides for your Window Accessories stamps.

Happy Creating!
