Heute ist es wieder soweit, es ist "MichJay Tag". Die MichJay Challenge ist eine persönliche Challenge zwischen meiner Freundin Michelle und mir. Vor einiger Zeit unterhielten wir uns darüber, dass es so tolle 3D Projekte gibt und wir irgendwie fast ausschließlich Karten machen. So haben wir beschlossen auch 3D Projekte zu machen und hierzu die monatliche MichJay Challenge ins Leben gerufen. Für unsere MichJay Challenge #08 haben wir eine Shadow Box Karte gebastelt.
***Today is the day. It's "MichJay Day". The MichJay Challenge is a personal challenge between my friend Michelle and me. Some time ago we were speaking about that there are so many cool 3D projects out there and that we almost only make cards. So we decided to also make 3d things and that's why we have the monthly MichJay Challenge. For our MichJay Challenge #08 we've chosen a shadow box card.

I made my shadow box card a bit different. Normally I wanted to make the typically one with a scene in the background but then time was running like so often. That's why I decided to test something new. And I like it! Isn't Rosie Rabbit from Penny Johnson the cutest? I wanted to color this image for soo long now and I finally found the time on Saturday during our stamping group meeting. The cardstock is Prism and the patterned paper DCWV.

I just added another mat to my shadow box card. I saw this idea at Anja's blog and really liked it. For the first time since months I used my QuicKutz alphabet Moxie again. And I just can't resist to use my Martha Stewart butterfly all the time.

I also love my QuicKutz grass shape and cut green SU cardstock and a scrap of the same DCWV paper I used for my card with it. In the end I also added some ants and flowers.

I used my Albrecht Duerer watercolor pencils for the image and a new Tombow for the shadow around the image. I added some gemstones to the butterfly and some accents with a white gel pen.
So und nun gehe ich zu Michelle und gucke was sie gemacht hat! Wollt ihr mitkommen? Okay! Wollt ihr bei unserer MichJay Challenge mitmachen? OKAY! Ihr könnt gerne einen Kommentar zu euren Shadow Box Karten hinterlassen.
