Shadowbox Card

I just posted this Shadowbox card over on the Design Junkies blog. I thought some of my readers who weren't Technique Junkies might enjoy it too! This 3-d card was the online bonus technique from the Oct/Nov '09 newsletter.

At first I was a little intimidated by the construction aspect of this card. However, once I sat down and started making one, I realized just how easy it was. This is such a versatile card - there are so many different ways you can interpret it. What's great is that it folds flat for mailing....how nice would it be to receive a special card like this?!

For this card I used stamps from the Marie Antoinette and Le Beau Monde stamp sets from Oxford Impressions. Such pretty, romantic stamps!
