Hello my crafty friends! Another Shadowbox Card for you this time in a 5" X 7".  I like doing this frame as it is out of 1 piece of paper.  The card is 5" X 7" and the opening for your bouquet is 3" X 5".   My bouquet of Mock Orange S3-496 from Spellbinders Susan's Garden Through the Arbor release along with Berry Branch / Autumn Foliage from Birds & Bees Garden Collection.   The bottle I created using Shrink Plastic which can be found in most craft stores.  Susan did this Shadowbox Frame Card on her Garden Club 2 "Live" February 28, 2024 which can be found here    Paper that I used for frame is P13- Hello Summer.  I absolutely love this paper.
