Once upon a time Fantasy Book/Shadow box

 I am enchanted by Prima Marketing's "Nature Academia" papers and wanted to create a book that holds the little world of imagination the papers create. 

The cover is cotton fabric dyed green and stamped with some texture stamps. Tim Holtz Bubbles and Bo Bunny Rough it up stamps.

Then I folded the fabric at the edge adding paper leaves, wool fibers, laces and fabric strips tying to make it look mossy like the forest floor. 

 

 I used some paper clay in the collection silicon molds painted them with acrylic paint . Also bought the paper ephemera and decorated with with them.   There is some 49 and market ephemera used in there too.

I made 2 half inch deep box frames and built up a couple of the papers inside of them by fussy cutting layers of the images.

 

I have some die cut Leaves from Sizzix and Tim Holtz Wildflower stems there too.

                               

 I put a flat page in the middle and then decorated. There is some glitter too. Reneabouquets chipboard and butterfles. As well as the nest I made with thread. 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by to look!!
