MY post-wedding DIY-shadowvbox for a fave photo

Ok so I attempted my own DIY shadowbox frame as inspired by the beachy one created by HamptonsBride. It was a ROYAL PAIN IN THE BUTT! OMG!! LOL. I would suggest any bride who wants to do this to use small sturdy items with no give like the seashells and sand in hers. I tried moss and the silk dasies I used for the girl's weddung day barrettes and though I think it looks pretty good, it was WAY too much work to make everything lay approximately the way I envisisoned it. Moss/grass wouldn't lay flat, the flower petals wouldn't curve or move the way I wanted them because once the back was on, it got squished.....

OYE!!!!!!
Its not perfect but after 1 1/2 hours, I accept dh's addage that 'nothing is ever perfect.' He thinks it looks good so here it is.

OMG, I love it. I think I am going to steal your idea

Re: MY post-wedding DIY-shadowvbox for a fave photo

LOO steal away BUT I warn you that it was a PAIN to do...if you can find nminiature daises, I would so reccomend that because the large ones were a PAIN to get arranged-finally glued the two pink ones in place and even then took an hour of poking.
