Christmas Lighthouse Shadow

 

Hello and welcome. Today I'd like to share with you a shadow box I made for this quarters Conjurer of Dreams Summer challenge.  The challenge theme is - seaside shadow boxes.  For mine, I decided to go with a Christmas seaside theme using a wooden box I found at Dollar Tree© a few months ago.

 

I started out by painting the box using a light blue acrylic paint before printing the Stained Glass Lighthouse three times as a 5x7 image.  Once the printing was finished, I laid the box down on one of the printed images and traced around it before cutting out.  I then adhered the trimmed pieces using Mod Podge before adding some Snow Tex along the inside.  After that I added the lightpost, sled, snowman and trees by setting them in the Snow Tex©.  I then added a battery operated votive, light down, on top using hot glue to hold it in place.  The final touches were adding more Snow Tex© on top of the moss and along the sides of my shadow box.  

 

Box with the votive light on:

 

I'm really happy with how this turned out.
