DIY Lightbox

I posted a picture of a card I created on my Facebook page looking for some input on what my focal point should be, a butterfly or a dragonfly. (The jury is still out on that!)  When I viewed the pictures that I posted I noticed the cards looked totally different.  They looked washed out and blue when they were in fact black!  I had previously pinned a DIY lightbox tutorial on my Pinterest board so it was time to give it a try.

First I needed a box.  This one was banged up a bit but thought it might still work out.

          

Next step was to measure for the openings and cut them out with a sharp knife.

         
I covered the openings with white tissue paper and inserted white copy paper into the inside of the box.  Then got ready to take a photo.

       


 I used my OTT Light as an additional light source even though my studio has plenty of natural light.




Can you see a difference?  The photo on the left is my original picture and the one on the right was retaken in my lightbox.  |What do you think?
