Crazy 4 Challenges #56

Our challenge this week at Crazy 4 Challenges is to use bling on your card. So here is what I made:

I made a shadow box that I can hang on my wall during Christmas. I picked up the shadow box at my local Michaels Arts & Crafts store and painted it with Tim Holtz crackle paint and went over it lightly with distress ink. Then I painted the back of the box with an outdoor scene and embellished with some Magnolia images that I got from the Magnolia-licious store. I used 3 images from Magnolia and they are: Winter Forest pine trees, the house background and Santa stamps are also by Magnolia but I couldn't find them to link too but HERE is a very similar background image and HERE is a similar Santa. I'm sure these images will be in stock soon at Magnolia-licious.









I hope you can see my picture ok. It was hard to photograph it with enough light. My bling is the pearls I used as "snow" and the clear rhinestones that I used on my Stickled wooden snowflakes.

If you would like to play along with us at C4C, all you have to do is create a card/project, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C56 then link it at the C4C challenge blog.
