Let's Create our Shadow Box:

1) Paint the wood frame of your box in gold, and make sure to cover the whole frame. Let the paint dry overnight.

2) Cover the back board of your box with the paper doily, when you have the doily in place, glue it down.

3) Center your invitation on top of the doily , and glue.

4) Glue your silk flowers and baby breath to the opposite corners of the invitations.

5) Glue your ribbon around the invitation in the shape of an abstract heart.

6) Finish off the box by putting the box together with the glass on top.

This shadow box will be a treasured decoration, every time you pass by your box, you will remember the happiest day of your life.
