Now that's got to be worth entering our challenge for, right!?! Pop over to the challenge blog for more details.

Here's my card...

I used one of the gorgeous Wishing Well images designed by our lovely Debbie at The Crafty Pad Designs and made a shadow box card. I printed the DP straight onto card; its from a Nitwits digi set called Grins & Giggles Too. The image was coloured with Promarkers and attached to the inside/back section of the shadow box using foam pads for a 3D effect.

I used a template for the shadow box created by my wonderfully talented friend, Debbie Lauder over at Crafty Stash....she has templates for shadow boxes with different shaped apertures, circle, square and bracket; click the link and pop over, you won't be disappointed!

As our theme is BUTTONS, I have added buttons to the front, some have gold tinsel-thread through them, some are plain.

I inked the edges to finish the card, and here's a bird's eye view.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

• Fairy Tale Blog challenges #10 - Children
• Totally Papercrafts #57 - Shaped Cards
