Instructions: The finished size of my project is 6 1/2” x 6 1/2” x 1/2”.

To build the shadow box, you can find the tutorial I followed here. Please see sketch for the exact size of my box and number of pieces needed.

Cut a piece of white cardstock 6 1/2” x 6 1/2” for back of shadow box and a matching piece of your favorite patterned paper design. Glue patterned paper to cardstock, glue frame to cardstock. Cut 4 pieces of patterned paper to match sides of shadow box, score and glue to frame as pictured.

Cut Royale Gateway from white cardstock. Cut two pieces of clear transparency to match the side panels on the gate making sure to add 1/4” on one side and bottom, score at 1/4” and fold. Glue these pieces to either side of the box, glue gate to transparency panels, this will make your gate sturdier.

Shape wisteria petals with flower shaping kit. Add flower stamens to clematis, for mine I colored them with a yellow alcohol marker.
