Arabian Nights ATC Shrine

This is the last of the Arabian Nights pieces.  The base of the shrine is made from an ATC Hutch Shrine Kit. 
 
The image of the woman and one of the lanterns are from my Rock the Kasbah Collage Sheet.  The other lanterns are from my Midnight at the Oasis Collage Sheet.  The lanterns are not really hanging but attached to the back of the shrine using a few layers of double-stick tape.  The wires attached to the lanterns extend high enough behind the onion dome top that you can’t see that they are not connected to anything.

Be My Valentine Shrine Designed for Alpha Stamps

I’ve been very busy over the past month designing all kinds of new goodies for Alpha Stamps.  This shrine is one of the new pieces.  I started with a Masonite shrine kit that requires assembly (very easy). 
The Finished shrine measures approx. 2-3/4" wide x 3-3/4" tall (not including decorative header) x 1-3/8" deep. The inside compartment is perfectly sized to fit ATCs and measures just over 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 1-1/8" deep. You can fit several inside and peer at them through the window.   
I painted and papered the individual pieces before constructing the shrine.  The white designs on the front of the shrine are rub-on transfers.
I added a small paper coverd box on the inside of the shrine to provide a place to glue the hearts, flowers and the image of the boy and girl (so I could pop them up and give the piece more dimension).
Above is the picture of the back and you can see all the stuff I piled on the top.  I hope you can keep a secret, as I left the back blank for a special reason.  Every year I make my husband a Valentine’s card.  This year I'm giving him this shrine. I left the back blank so I can write on it.  Mums the word!
