Hey guys!!! Today I'll be making a shadow box using an old iPhone box. I'll be using the finished shadow box to gift tea light candles to a friend.
I will be entering this in
1. Lulupu Craft Lounge Challenge #57 - http://lulupu.blogspot.in/2016/01/challenge-57-2-0-1-6-recipe-challenge.html

2 pattern papers
0 Die-cuts
1 Washi tape
6 stamps

3. 613 Avenue Create Challenge #160 - http://avenue613.blogspot.in/2016/01/challenge-160-anything-goes-no-twist.html
Materials Required
- An old phone box. Actually any box would work here.
- Two pattern papers
- 1 Washi tape. 6 stamps.
- I used the little stamps from Avery Elle's Simply Tags : Everyday and Hero Arts
- Distress ink or any ink pad. I used Mowed Lawn by Ranger. Some quilling strips.
- A a piece of acetate, pearl stickers and some cardboard
- Glue, glitter balls and Pom Poms
- Two tea light candles and a match box
Method
1. Stamps 5 of the small stamps on the pattern paper with some Mowed Lawn Distress Ink.
2. Cover the box bottom with the pattern paper as shown. Cut a piece of cardboard and make a division in the box (see pics). Cover the edges of the box and cardboard with Washi tape.
3. Make a frame using some cardboard. Stick a piece of acetate on the inside to make a window. Now attach some pattern paper to this box to make a lid. Use quilling strips to cover any jagged edges.
4. Stick some glitter balls inside the box and add the matchbox. Cover the matchbox with pattern paper.
5. Put a couple of tea lights in the upper part of the box and put some Pom Poms in the remaining area so that the candles don't move.
6. Stamp a sentiment on a piece of white card stock and attach to the lid. I used a gift for you tag as the sixth stamp as per the challenge on Lulupu Craft Lounge challenge.
Hope you liked this. See you soon :)
