Welcome back on this fabulous Wednesday! Now that it is officially summer, it's the perfect time to share a little summer fun with a card created using G45 On The Boardwalk papers! And speaking of summer projects, make sure to join in the fun over at G45. They are holding a fantastic giveaway and they want to see YOUR creations! So get started making something celebrating summer and post it on their facebook page today for your chance to win!
Now onto the Boardwalk...
This is a very simple card to make, but has high impact with all the little dimensional details and the shadowbox effect created using Spellbinder Dies. It truly reminds me of an old postcard but with lots more yummy colors!
To create this effect, Cut your background paper to the size of card. Mine is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".
Now use your spellbinder die to cut the center out of your background.
For stability while cutting, use a little repositionable tape to hold your die directly in the center of your paper. Now once cut, you want to use the negative, open space that is left over.
Make sure to place whatever image you want underneath first. Then adhere your negative with pop dots over top. And now just embellish. This allows for a lot of dimension while decorating!

Beautiful project! TFS
WOW! I've had Boardwalk in my papers for a while and never been really inspired to use it - until now! I love the 3D effect. I want to just walk off into this card.
So clever and wonderfully dimensional.
