I blame global warming. Gotta blame something. Totally won't admit that I've been mojoless and lazy. Nope.
Anyway, the theme for the challenge is to make Anything But A Card. Yeah. So I did.
I heard you! Yes you, laughing hysterically, pointing at me! I hope for your sake it's because my creation is hilarious, not that you failed to identify a SHADOW BOX and mistakenly took it for a card.
Tut-tut! Clearly a SHADOW BOX, see, thanks to my crappy photography skills it even has some pretty sharp shadows. No mistake can be made. It's not me, it's you.
Now that I have it off my chest, I thought I'll briefly mention some card...erm shadow box details too. Images are called Aussie Santa and Gingerbread House. The colouring is pure Copic job, nothing added. Except about a bucketful of Glamour Dust and some Viva Pearl pen. And no, I didn't write anything down, I was too late making it so just pushed myself to actually get it done, lol
Because there were two strong images I chose to have a very clean design - well, for me anyway. The felt frame is cut with Spellbinders and I just got those cool border dies from MFT so had to play, obviously. As a result - a lot of felt borders.
And it wouldn't have been my c...shadow box unless there was some baker's twine involved. Or twill tape. Or both.
So there, that's all the entertainment for now. I'd like to enter some challenges though!!

You so crack me up! Very creative "shadowbox" darling. I love the scene and of course you colored it magestically. I was laughin when I first looks and rolling by the end of your post.
haha! so super cute and fun!!
Oooo, I haven't colored the Gingerbread House yet but this is perfect! Love the color of the gingerbread and the sparkling frosting. :D (And I never noticed the camera and satellite dish before!)
I think I could color all day as it's my favorite part... it's the card making that slows me down. ;D
Wow thanks for joining us at DCD with this gorgeous box!!! it's a fab project and you did so make me laugh, wish I had a way with words lol, hugs Liz xx
Hahaha...funny girl :) you are in mood for jokes today... I swear I saw it's a shadow box ... after you mentioned it :) hihihi but you can see the shadows in the last pic...
Anyway the whole thing is so funny!!! Those borders were really a "must-have" so don't feel "guilty" about it (I know you're not hehehe). Funny image and cool coloring as usual...
I am with my internet down :((( until next week. I would have sent you lots of e-mails but I am writing everything in a hurry now...
So lots of hugs and I will let you know once I am back on track

Hee hee, that Santa is so funny, Annika!!! Loving the gingerbread house too, all gorgeously coloured. And it's a shadow-box, you say?!!! I believe you!!!
Thanks for joining us on PaperPlay this week.

Wow! Cool " not a card" shadow box!!!!!!
Love those borders girl, is that plain felt you've cut it out of?
Santa of course is perfect for us downunder, so summery and ready for a bbq. I didn't know he lived in a gingerbread house though....no wonder he's slighty hanging out of his shorts! Bet he has to replace bits of his house quite frequently!
And as for leaving things to the almost last minute.....well of course! Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow!
Lol, wonderful post and wonderful project! Thanks for joining us on PaperPlay this week!
LOL Your project is wonderful. Maybe you could do a tutorial..on creating..your shadow box :)
Hehehe....maybe that should say " Santa's Getting FAT!"
ROFL!!! That image is HILARIOUS....and your card is AMAZING!
OMG, this is wonderful, hilarious, campy, LOL. Made me smile. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Gingerloft Challenges! :) Gale

Wow! this is fantastic. Shadow boxes are just hard to pnotograph. You did a great job with this . Love the coloring. Thanks for joining us at Catch The Bug this week.
Really love the coloring. WOnderful job. Thanks for joining us at Gingerloft.
Now this is so my Chirstmas here in Austraila! I love your choice of images and the coloring you have done is fantstic! Love it ! Thanks for joining us at Gingerloft Challenges.
I love coming here - you always tickle me! I totally emphasize with the global warming mojo killer. I think it's killed Santa's mojo too - shouldn't he be hard at work directing the elves to make toys?
It might be a marginal shadowbox but as always, your coloring is totally amazing - you added all the shadows so beautifully creating amazing depth! Love the die cut felt too - a very cool embellishment!
Super 3-d project... always thrilled to have you join in the fun with us at Our Creative Corner!
