Designer Notes:

1. Ink and stamp all pieces of the Shadow Box Frame prior to assembling.

2. On the main piece of the frame, stamp the Distressed Words using the Mudslide Archival ink. Heat set.

3. Using an open flourish stamp from Best of Times, stamp over the top of the words with the watermark ink. Heat set.

4. Ink over the entire surface with Pewter ink. Randomly apply Patina, and apply Leather around the edges. Take a paper towel and rub to remove excess ink from the embossed areas.

5. Fill in areas of the flourish stamp with Smooch ink. Blot immediately with a paper towel to soften.

6. Randomly stamp a few areas with the Distressed Words and the Mudslide ink.

7. For the inside of the shadow box, mist with Smooch spritz. Allow to dry, and stamp the sentiment with watermark ink, and sprinkle with black embossing powder. Heat set.

8. Ink the fence with the same Mixd Media Inkz as above, adding more of the brown. Randomly sprinkle with the Copper and Green embossing powders and heat set.

9. Emboss the lamppost with the Platinum powder and heat set. Add handmade flowers and die cut leaves to embellish.

10. Ink all remaining pieces of the frame (fronts and backs) with the Patina ink. Assemble as shown.
