I got her coloured up then wasn't sure what I was going to do with her. Decided I wanted to keep her for myself though, so I've made a shadow box. I found a template on Pinterest and worked my measurements from that. I had to trim the image down a bit and not place it centrally, so not to lose too much. Having printed and coloured before deciding on a shadow box, I realised the box would be a little too small. I have used 12x12 card though which is the largest I have!! I think it still looks good though and I've only lost a little bit of her tail.

The image coloured up
Of course I had to use some glitter!
The shadow box cut out
Image glued into the box, and the box assembled
Sand, shells and gems placed into the box and an acetate window glued on (Oops, I forgot to photograph at this stage, so this is a close-up after hanging instead!)
Outer frame measured and cut, then Distress Inks blended on and sprayed with water
