Kokeshi Box Card

I have a post today that will knock your socks off.............another great, I mean great surprise card from my fellow blog friend Eunice (A star for Chiemi - her blog found here and perhaps with more details on this project).  Anytime I get something from Eunice, I am always in AWE of her creativity.  Her skill using the cut computer program MTC (Make the Cut) is beyond excellent! She took the Box Card style to the highest level of creativity shown here.
The envelope sent is 8-1/2" x 6-3/4" x 1/2".  Shown here is the belly band which acts as the closure for this envelope.  I LOVE the Washi paper used along with the gold card stock (two of my favorite colors).  The small tag with the panda is a tag.  The panda is "print and cut" image along with a sakura punch in the bottom corner.  Lovely!!!!
 Open the envelope to reveal something very very cool................
The following photos show each side of the box card. Each section is 3-1/2" x 6-1/2" with a Oval cut out int he center framed with black card stock squares which look like a shoji screen.  The cherry blossom branch is pretty cool, too The  Kokeshi image is from a story book by Annelore Parot - such cute cute cute yummy images!!!!!
Here's another side .................and don't you just absolutely LOVE the panda? sigh............
Another side with a Kokeshi image in another fashionable kimono and the cherry blossom  branch:
This fourth side may be my favorite since this Kokeshi image has so much hair - love her, and the panda , too
Wondering how this card was made...............?..............here's a photo of the underside.......I love how clean looking the card is on the inside...............and I still can't figure it out right now....................
So give Eunice's blog a visit to see many of her amazing projects...............and thank for coming by today.
