You Have my Heart!

Hi everyone!
It has been some time since my last post. My family is doing great and I am trying to get back to my favorite thing... everything art.
I made this tag recently and didn't post it. It was really fun combining different elements and mediums, and I am absolutely in love with the result.
Here is the tag:

Image: Sugar Skull & Flowers Framed From Dilly Beans Stamps

 Back View

I altered and Altoids tin. Used acrylic red paint for the outside.
Colored the image with Copics and Prisma coloring pencils.
Added the image to the inside of the tin, the decided that it needed something more, that's when the glitter appeared.
Still wasn't happy, so I colored to flowers from the image, fussy cut then and created a 3D effect, Now I was happy with the inside. 
colored and additional image for the backside and added some ribbon to the sides.
The skull embellies are made using air dry clay and once it was dried I colored them, glued them together and added them to the top of the shrine.
The base is a candlestick and the flowers are handmade with tissue paper.
Hope you like it!!!
