The quote has been on the internet for quite some time now. I have seen several of these Shadow boxes made. The flowers are cut from various Cricut Cartridges. The flowers are rolled from the edges to the center, then glued. I lined up the red, white and blue flowers to create the flag. There are several artists on the web that do this similar design. Since my son is in the Navy, I added an anchor to the lower right hand corner. I used white vinyl for the saying and the anchor, then adhered the cutouts to the glass. The stripes are very crooked. I think next time I will create lines on the mat of the shadow box, following those lines as I hot glued the paper flowers to the mat. Hopefully, that will keep the stripes straight. I didn't want to see the background of the mat, so I kept the flowers very close together. I bought the paper and vinyl from Jo-Ann's and the shadow box from Michael's Craft stores.
