I'm really excited to share with you my romantic engagement SVG template so that you can easily layer up the design into a pretty shadow box to celebrate a special engagement, anniversary, or even a wedding...
My shadow box template design is all hand-drawn by me - and I wanted to make it really romantic and magical, with the beautiful trees, the hearts, the little squirrels (...did you spot those?) and, of course, the happy couple!
I wanted the feel of a fairytale romance made real - so I called it 'Happily Ever After' to recall to mind the end of fairytales when, of course, they all live happily ever after!
It's perfect for when you want to wish a Happily Ever After for a very special newly engaged couple - or perhaps you know a happily married couple already living their own Happily Ever After who are celebrating a significant anniversary...
Also ideal for weddings - and, basically, any other romantic gesture you'd like to make - after all, we could all always do with a bit more romance in our lives, right?
The shadow box is easy to make - you just layer up the layers of card, adding a bit of a space in between each layer, and pop it in a frame - I'll show you how, step-by-step, in the instructions right below...
These are the instructions for the 'Happily Ever After' romantic engagement shadow box SVG template - including:
The templates are basically the same other than the figures so there is just this one version of instructions - I'm using the colours from the man and woman template (that you see on this page) - the colours for the other versions are different as I wanted to include lots of colour inspiration for you for your own projects...
So please do use all the colour ideas as inspiration and get creative with your colour choices to make the engagement shadow box! I've got some colour advice to help you out in the box just below...
It's quite easy to tell which layer is which in the instructions as there aren't too many layers and they're quite distinctive in shape so I don't think you'll get into difficulties whichever colours you choose - so have fun and happy crafting!
Let's go...!
I hope all the different colours that I've used for the different versions of the engagement shadow box will inspire you and help you choose colours for your own project (look at the images on this page, especially towards the bottom of the page, and this page).
The main thing I found to look out for is to use colours with a good contrast between light and dark for the top layer (with the text) and the background layer with the hearts cut out (layer 4) - this is so that the text stands out well - less contrast gives a more subtle look to the text, which you may prefer.
You also want the figures to be a main focal point so do choose a noticeable colour for these - a white/cream/light grey seemed to work well - or a darker grey if you have them against a paler background. I like to use a neutral colour for the figures as I feel it's slightly unrealistic if the figures are bright blue or orange or something - but if you like this look, go for it, as it's your project!
I also liked the hearts to be nice and bright and stand out against the background - so in each of these versions, my hearts are bright pink, red, or yellow - all the colours give a real 'pop' against the background.
You can print these instructions if you need to - there is a 'Print' button on the top right of the page (under the page title) and also at the bottom of the page at the end of the instructions - you can choose which parts of the page you want to print.
Here's an alternate colour idea I created for this engagement SVG template - I love the pretty nature colours and the woodland greens against those bright pink hearts...
And I also came up with more colour ideas for the two-men and two-women versions that you can see more of on this page (also just below)...
Go on this page if you want to see more of these four colour ideas or to buy these templates (that's the 2-men or 2-women versions of this engagement SVG shadow box template).
