Hello and thank you for stopping in.
This is my shadow box for  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EverythingWendyVecchi/
I made mine from paper ...manilla folders.
I used my favorite wendy stamps :) which I will list and the end of my post. I used two distress inks worn lipstick and squeezed lemonaide and one stain peacock feathers.
can you tell I love the flower stamps..yes..sorry for the obvious I do.
I did cheat I used sticky squares to layer the sides and glossy accents to hold the sides and flowers and on top of the flowers.
as many of you know i color..love to color so i used my prisma pencil pumpkin orange in center of flower.
