Shabby Style Shadowbox

As we head into the weekend, we have a beautiful project to share from design team member Emeline Seet. She used our Attic Treasures Collection papers, 5th Avenue chipboard, resin elements, crepe paper and trims to create a wonderful tone on tone project that is both classic and timeless.

Here, from Emeline, is a description of how she made the beautiful flower on the top right of the box:

Crepe paper is great for adding dimension. It comes in several colors and is easily manipulated. Here, I made use of Melissa France's cream colored crepe paper and lace to create a ruffle flower.

1. Measure and cut a 12"x2.5" piece of crepe paper. Cut scallop shapes along the length of one edge
2. Measure and cut 12"x2" of lace. Place the strip of lace on top of the strip of crepe paper.
3. Stitch the lace and crepe together using simple running stitch.
4. Towards the end of the strips, pull the thread together so that gathers are formed. Adjust and even out the ruffles.
5. Tie a knot in the thread. Stick on pearls to finish.

Thanks so much for visiting the Melissa Frances blog. We hope you have a wonderful weekend!
