This piece starts with the new Oval MDF Art Shrine which prior to assembling I covered with one of the papers from Melina's 2nd Paint Pour Collection. To get the most out of the A4 piece of paper I lined the the front opening piece of MDF onto the edge of the paper and glued on the front. Once the glue was dry and using a very sharp craft knife I cut out the oval which I glued to the inside back piece of the shrine that I had painted with black gesso. With the remainder of the A4 paper I had enough to cover the inside sides of the opening (I did have to piece one of the sides but you can't see it). I then glued the shrine together making sure that none of the paper had gone over the tabs. 

Next I used That's Crafty! Black Texture Paste through the Flower Burst Mask onto a sheet of acetate. Once the paste had dried I cut around the design and cut to fit into 2 of the corners and glued them on so they slightly overhang the oval opening.

Next to repeat stamp the butterfly stamp 5 times, I always have to have an odd number, using Versafine Clair Noctourne and they were coloured using a selection of grey Zig water colour brush pens and splashes of colour added using Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays and then added within the oval. a Tim holtz sticker saying finishes the piece off.
