Altered MB Shrine Open Theme

Please make an altered shrine or diorama style matchbox in your choice of theme and size (32 or 250ct). A shrine just means you decorate the inside and outside of the MB often with keepsakes or items that represent you or remind you of memories. A diorama is a MB with a scene inside the drawer using foam dots or something else to help various elements to appear 3-D.

Here is a link to a 250 ct MB measurements and even a template for your use. Here is a link to a video showing you how to make MB shrines. The outside and inside must both be decorated. Another link

Keep in mind that shrine does not mean anything religious in this instance and please only add anything religious if your partner lists this as ok on their profile or you check with them first.

*If you use rubber stamping, please stamp cleanly; missed areas, smudges or double lines are not acceptable.

*Please check your partner's profile and avoid dislikes in colour. You may make this profile based if you wish.

*Please do not use computer generated images or wording unless they are professional quality and do not show pixelation. And no magazine cut outs or 'kid' stickers.

*Please make a beautiful MB you are proud of and would be thrilled to receive. No fill is required.

*The MB must include a total of at least 4 layers and/or embellishments both inside and out You must use all quality craft supplies. No cheap junk.

*Make sure your work is clean and precise. No glue should show and straight cuts need to be straight. Colouring needs to look adult, not like a child did it. Please don't be discouraged by these rules. I am only referring to general tidy work, not tiny flaws.

*Please ship with care. A bubble mailer isn't enough unless your box is sturdy. See the forums for a cheap and easy shipping suggestion that cuts down on mailing costs too!

*Please have a 4.98+ rating to join and no 1's EVER or 3's in the last 6 months. I will accept explanations of course, PM me ahead of the sign up deadline. If you see a flaker has joined, don't worry, I will weed them out but there shouldn't be any on a group like this! If you are really worried, give me a heads up! I’ve been flaked on so many times, I've stopped keeping track, so I get it!
