Floral Card in a Box

  I joined in a Mingle in the Oriental Stamp Art Yahoo group recently for Different kinds of folds cards. One of our Sponsors at Technique Junkies is About Art Accents- and I used a newly released stamp plate for Spring and made a Card in a Box.

 Can you see the lower part of the box- that is called Embossed Wax Paper resist.

  Here are the sides of this card:

And side 2:

And here is the back- that is gold shimmery cardstock (Paper Temptress):

I used a number of Technique Junkies techniques on this card, including Embossed Wax Paper Resist, Salt and Pepper and Simple Sumi (dragonflies).  I stamped the images and colored some using Copics, others (tulips) were watercolored.

What is really neat with these cards, is that they fold down flat to put in an envelope to mail.

  When traveling to China, regardless of the city, there is always open space reserved for parks, and they are beautifully manicured with fabulous flowers! So, with that memory in mind, this card was a delight to create, even in light of all of the fussy cutting!
