Heart Shrine Shadow Box

Hello everyone, it's Monique here on the blog to share an inspiration idea with you.

It's almost Valentines day, so what better day to make a personal gift for your loved ones.  To me Valentines day is about hearts, the heart is a symbol of love, and that is why I made a heart shrine.

Ofourse it's not just a Valentines project, you can make shines with different objects for any occasion, just use what speaks to you and decorate your heart out.

Hi everyone, Monique here, sharing a fun circus project made of an altoid tin.

Step 5: measure the stencilled cardstock  to fit the inside of the tin (I traced the tin on the back of the cardstock and cut it out along the inside of my marks.

Step 6: decorate the inside of the tin, and make a "stage"by folding a piece of the stencilled cardstock

Step 7: use the  scallope punch and yellow cardstock to make a border to decorate the top of the tin

Step 8: make an impression of part of the clown stamp using red ink on yellow cardstock

Step 9: cut the stamped image triangular shape and ink the edges using a red ink or paint.  Add foam board if needed to reinforce the "clown sign".
Paint the letters yellow and red like in the picture above, and decorate the bobbins with yellow stripes on the edges.

Step 9: decorate the tin, the scalloped edge and the "wheels"and "sign"using the rhinestones
