This is a sardine tin shrine I made for a very dear friends birthday. I painted the outside of the tin with various acrylic paints distressing each layer before painting with another colour. I then used textured paste on the inside and added several layers of different coloured acrylics. I added a little tin with a clear lid inside with a heart and some wording round the tin edge inside and some words underneath the heart. I printed out my image layering it first on to very thin card then added some torn tissue paper with gold script on it at the back of the image and glued it to a small wooden block then glued into place in the tin. I also added a bit of stickles to the halos for some bling.For the wings I coloured with alcohol inks and attached with a glue gun on the back and added a little heart shape button in the center of the wings. I added an old found metal loop, some ribbon, some beaded ribbon round the bottom and that was it finished on time for once.
My friend was probably shocked - not at the gift but that I actually managed to get it made and to her on time!!
