OCC Goin' 3-D

Today on the OCC, Jocelyn is challenging us with goin' 3-D. Jocelyn's very favorite thing to do in paper crafting is to make 3-D projects! The challenge this week is to do just that! You can choose to construct something out of paper or alter something like a box, jar...whatever strikes your fancy! We can’t WAIT to see what you all come up with!!


3-D is my weakest area in paper crafting, but I gained a lot of confidence doing this project and with my perpetual calendar project. I cheated a little. I used a card I made for an OCC sketch challenge last May and mounted it in a shadow box. I also made this a week before Christmas and gave it to my youngest DD for Christmas. She loved it!

I had this shadow box from IKEA for a few months, and knew this is what I wanted to do with it. I used Basic Grey rub ons on the glass to enforce the illusion of depth. We love the shadow of the rub on 'Blessed' that is cast when the sun shines on the shadow box where it hangs on Rachel's wall. Her favourite colours are blue and green, but the happiness I think I caught in this project is so RACHEL. She is sweet and whimsical, sensitive and runs like the wind. *sigh* I love my kid - KWIM?


Here is what the original card looked like;

Take a little time and enjoy the rest of the OCC DT's 3-D stuff. I know I will. I'm so easily awed by 3-D projects because I sweat buckets over them! Cindy, Dana, Jennifer, Jenny, Jocelyn, Linda, Lori, Silke, Wendy
