Shadowbox Cut-Out Painting

I love the cut-out art like this that has depth to it. The first time I saw this type of style was on the Little Hut blog, I've been wanting to try this myself. Well, I found this farm cut-out painting tutorial by Arounna Khounnoraj. A craft project great for kids and to preserve your child's art work in style.

You'll need to make a line drawing or find a line drawing, possibly out of a coloring book, that has depth to it. Let them paint away or color away, then cut out the foreground, background and the middle. Finally, you'll need to cut out some foam core to secure the different pieces you've cut out to make them stand out. Check out the tutorial.

This looks great. A nice creative idea. You could probably do something similar with a favorite photograph as well.
