Welcome to project number 700 – can you believe how far we’ve come? Thank you for supporting my dream to share my passion for crafting with you! To celebrate, I have a very special project: a farmhouse shadow box with floating pieces inspired by Maker Farm! I’ve created many layered cardstock shadow boxes on the road to 700. One of the limitations of shadow boxes with cardstock layers is that each layer has to be all one piece. So I decided to create a layer with pieces detached from the rest. Don’t these floating pieces look so cool? They really add a touch of magic, and are so customizable! Can you guess how I do it? Here’s a hint: one of the layers is invisible!
