Autumn Shadow Box

September 29, 2011 by Holly Gagnon 19 Comments

I made this shadow box as a gift for my girlfriend who’s expecting a baby girl named Autumn.  My inspiration came from her nursery colors red, black and white.  It felt weird making a baby project for a girl using black and red without any pink, but this is what I came up with.

 12 x 12 personalized  shadow box for Autumn

Autumn Shadow Box

The layout will go into a 12 x 12 shadow box which isn’t pictured because I couldn’t get a good picture with the glass glare.

 

The tree is from Cricut  Cindy Loo and the cute birds, which surprisingly, match the birds in the bedding perfectly are cut from Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons.  I also added a black polka dot ribbon and made a flower embellishment to go along with her nursery theme.  The baby’s name is, Autumn, so I cut out her name in a large font from Opposites Attracts cartridge.

My friend was really happy to receive her  unique and special gift for her daughter’s nursery.  She was also happy that she didn’t receive anymore onesie’s. 🙂
