Hi! This Origami Box and matching card were made for today's Technique Lover's Challenge. You can find the instructions here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
With my mother in the hospital again, my Dad is living in their home, alone. (They have 3 GIANT dogs, who keep him company!) Most people can deal with that, but my dad has Alzheimer's. He's medicated, and doing MUCH better, but I still have to constantly monitor him while Mother is gone. One of our neighbors volunteered to look in on Dad during the day, so that I could visit with Mother. I wanted to thank her by giving her this box filled with chocolates and a gift card to Michaels.
The background was stamped with a GREAT vine stamp from There She Goes.
The images were stamped in Noir Black Palette Hybrid ink and colored in with Copic Markers. I cut them out and adhered them to the frames with Foam Tape. The butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch.

It's really nice that you have a kind helpful neighbor. It is also nice for her that you appreciate her so. What a wonderful, personal gift made by you - that is special.

Oh, Faith, you've outdone yourself!! Both the box and card are beautiful and have special touches that only you can accomplish! Kind of your neighbor to look in on your dad and what a nice gift for her... Do hope your mom will be home soon. Will keep her, your dad, and you in my prayers!!!
