Kokeshi Japanese Paper Doll Card and Paper Clip Envelope

Made this ensemble for a birthday. The Box card finished size: flat 4-1/4" x 3-1/4". Open size is 4-1/4" x 1-3/4" x 3-1/4".
Paper dolls: die cut with various small designer papers. Dot the hair with a white gel pen, then use Star Dust Stickles.  For the backs: die cut body and sleeves using black card stock along with a 5/8" circle punch (to cover the face impression). Mini glue dots used to adhere main pieces with black foam tape above top of the large paper clip. Use a black marker to cover only the edges of the body so it does not show.
