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.
