I'm sharing this set of shadowboxes today featuring one of my favourite of his new releases, the new Tim Holtz Metal Vignette Bases.
There's a set of two in each package, the smaller about 1.625 inches wide, and the larger one at 2.75 inches wide. The top of these bases are flat, making it easy to adhere to your structure.

I've added a painted wood finial piece (TH93573) to give the larger box more height, plus finished off the top with another finial. I can't seem to leave any metal unpainted, so I painted my bases first with a brown distress paint, wiping off the excess, then after that dried, Faded Jeans lightly on the raised areas. Both of my boxes were painted with a Faded Jeans wash (paint watered down)and a few splatters of Picket Fence paint. The new Vignette Frames (TH93694) fit perfectly over the Vignette Boxes (TH93279) and there's all four sizes in one package. I've realized that I enjoy creating with lots of dimension, I just can't seem to leave anything completely flat! Maybe that's why I'm hooked on making these shadowboxes. I raised one of the new Baseboard Frames(TH93710) with foam, placing a Photobooth vintage photo(TH93207) inside a Foundry Frame(93198) behind. To finish off the inside I used a metal Ribbon Adornment (TH93686), "she is brave" Remnant Rub (TH93695) over a painted chipboard piece, tiny Key Adornment(TH93321), tied with Tim Holtz Craft Thread (015274) and dyed Crinkle Ribbon (TH93020).
My smaller box was created the same way as the larger one, but the base just glued directly onto the box. Instead of a finial, I adhered a metal corner from the Vignette Accents pkg(TH93687) to the front. When covering the inside of the boxes, I used an assortment of Tim Holtz papers and also the new Worn Wallpaper (TH93692)pkg. I took a Watch Cameo(TH93264) and placed one of the new Quote Tokens (TH93691) on top. The words were highlighted with Picket Fence paint and again his Craft thread was used. My layers of papers behind the watch were die-cut with Tim's new Stacked Label Sizzix die(662695).
I have a few more projects that I will be sharing at a later date, hopefully you come back to visit!

Awesome shadow boxes, love the frames and the new vignette bases. Your finishes on both pieces are amazing.
Wow Jan! What a great project! I can't wait to get the vignette box covers and the metal finials! I like how you put the quote tokens in the watch! Clever! Great job as always girlie!! XXX
Both pieces are spectacular. They really look like vintage pieces and they have so much weight to them. I love it. I find that sometimes Tim's frames and boxes are small and as home decor I struggle to make them look big enough to stand out. . Yours are fantastically bulky and make the statement I am looking for. The painting is perfection- I cannot believe you used faded jeans - they both just look super old and just the most perfect patina
Beautiful pieces. They wouldn't look out of place on my vintage buffet, lol ;)
The faded jeans paint looks so lovely. You made your wood look like it is truly weather worn.
I really, really like these, especially the smaller one with the watch cameo.
Wow just wow! So inspiring, love them x
these are so soulful...just beautiful!
Great shadow boxes. Those new vignette bases are great!
BEAUTIFUL! Love how you added the finial to the metal base on the vignette boxes! So so clever! Thanks for joining in on the Blog Hop!

These are gorgeous.I love the way you have raised up the larger box by incorporating the wooden piece onto the new base. The layering inside these boxes is so interesting, I love the way the baseboard frame, has also incorporated a metal frame within and the adornments above. Just beautiful!

I was positively bowled over, when Tim showed your projects, in this year’s Creativation videos! You always have a touch that puts an elegant flair to the pieces you create. Such an inspiration! I began having ideas the moment I got to view these. Thank you for sharing your artwork!
These would look so lovely on my sofa table.... I just love everything about them, including the inspiration to give it a go on my own.
