Mixed Media "XO" Shadow Box (GDT Project for SaCrafters.com)

This is a mixed media, shabby chic style, shadow box project for SaCrafters.com. I love this project because I seem to be drawn to anything with an "xo" on it and this is right up my alley! I love how the "o" is in the shape of a heart! For this project I used the Graphic 45 paper collection, Botanical Tea! I Pulled out papers with pink shades. For the top layer of the shadow box, I used Prima texture paste in white sand and applied it with a pounce brush and followed that up with some shimmery goodness by  Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Old Lace. For the "x" I placed the décor on top and for the "o" I placed the décor inside. I wanted the "x" to appear to be hinged to the "o", so I used a wooden hinge from SaCrafters. I love these hinges. this particular hinge is the smaller size. On the "x" I used a wooden skeleton clock from SaCrafters and placed a pair of  Prima resin wings and Prima metal clock face  on top of a resin frame. I finished it all off with the wood sentiment "noted" also from SaCrafters. To add some whimsy to this word,  I used a metal gear, a Tim Holtz spinner piece and a Tim Holtz number 8 turned sideways to represent the eternity symbol. Inside the "o" I used tons of Wild Orchid Craft flowers and metal gears from Bead Landing and Prima as well as a Prima lightbulb. At the bottom I used another wood sentiment from SaCrafters, which I thought went appropriately with the "xo" theme! I wanted to add a small moving element to the product...just for fun...so I add some chain hooked to the hinge sweeping over to the sentiment and finished off with a dangling key. I wanted to add a little more texture to complete the project, so I used Prima 3D Matte Gel medium and some Prima Glass Beads in various areas. The products I used From SaCrafters will be below the pictures. If you'd like to see what else is available in the store, just click on the link to the right on my sidebar.
