Shadow flower box.

Good morning.
I hope you are all well.

As some of you may know, Russ has a congenital heart defect and was taken to hospital last week with a suspected heart attack. He was in hospital for five days and with working and visiting I feel so tired. Thankfully, the specialists ruled that it wasn't a heart attack but the effects of his heart defect. We sought the advice of a heart specialist in London and he said that under stress or over exertion he runs the risk of his blood supply being temporarily cut off and the conclusion was that this is what happened. My lap top, which is usually joined to my hip, was hardly on for a week.
 
 
I am here today to show you my flower shadow box which I have decorated in a spring theme. These are such fun to make.
 
I added some of the colour lab starter set to gesso to make the pink for the frame (you only need the tiniest amount).
 

I added structure paste through the leaves and flower mask art around the edge of the flower frame. 


The majority of the embellishments are from the Spring Garden Set. The flowers in the 3 little boxes above were made using the Roll up Roses die. The bottom one looks bigger as I added together the large and the small die. 

 




I love these cute little plant pots and the branches. I have added the pearl pen in white to the centre of the flowers - I love the pens as the pearl drops stay perfectly formed.


 
 
I would like to enter the following challenges.
Simon Wednesday challenge - A bit O' Green
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Dies and/or punches
Cards und More -  Spring
 
 
Thank you all for your lovely comments which are always appreciated.
 
Enjoy the rest of your week.

Thank you for all your lovely comments.
I haven't been around this week. As some of you may know, Russ has a congenital heart defect which resulted in a heart bypass graft. His body rejected this and after four years of being told to not play football or over exert himself we sought a second opinion. Russ got the all clear to play football and live his life. On Monday, he had a suspected heart attack and has been in hospital until Friday evening. The cardiologist thinks that the chest pains were not the result of a heart attack but the effects of his condition and something that may occur again. It has been such a tiring week.
 
I hope you all have a lovely week ahead and I will see you all soon.
 
Hugs Sharon. x
