Are you inspired by the colors? The flowers? The feeling of summer? Whatever it is that inspires you, we wanna see it!
I created a very mini shadow box from an old wood veneer container. I was inspired mostly by the colors, but also added in some floral accents.
The original case is from a Recollections (Michael's brand) package of wood veneers. I cut one of the slots out of the bottom to make it larger for the quote.
The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense - Picasso
I tried to treat each square like its own mini canvas. I started with a small square of corrugate cardboard and rubbed acrylic paint on it - white, yellow, or magenta. From there, I added charms, veneers, or chipboard accents to each piece.
I painted this flower wood veneer in the colors of the inspiration photo. Some small accents, like sequins to glitter, were added to each piece.
