Great Grandma's Shadowbox

I haven't had too much time to craft this week with the baby teething and maybe getting her first cold. So there's been a lot of time devoted to comforting. One thing I did have to finish is a Mother's Day gift for my Grandma.


We took a 4 Generations photo at Easter. It's so hard to get the baby to look at the camera or not cry, so yay that we finally got a good one!

I used tissue paper to make the rosettes and I have to admit it was actually a little easier for me to lay them flat than using regular patterned paper. Who knew? I used die cut buttons as centers since my Grandma likes to sew. Hope fully she'll like it!

I'll be entering this into the Moxie Fab World Tissue Paper Magic Challenge , the Verve April Showers Bring May Flowers Challenge, and the Flourishes Release week challenge.

Thanks for looking!

    Of course your Grandma will love it! How nice that you used the five generation photo for her card. I'm certain she was touched by this beautiful creation. I do love the flowers and the pretty colors and design. A very nice photo, too!
