Sister Stamps Box Card

From my friend, Gene I got this wonderful box card using the Sister Stamps set called Miyoko holding a cupcake.   This stamp (and others) can be purchased from Hanko Designs here. The box card base is black card stock and Washi paper used on the flaps. There are randomly placed adhesive rhinestones on the center of the flowers  which do not show up in this photo.  There is a cherry branch on the front of the card

Here you can see the box card at an angle:

Here's a closer view of the images.  The flower in her hair has glitter and so does the cupcake icing. I believe there is Pink Wink of Stella is on the cupcake.  Her dress is paper pieced.

Side view showing the inside.  See the acetate to attach the images?

This card folds flat finishing 6-1/2" X 5-1/2" and would look like this: I love how this card is decorated on the underside of the flaps, too. That white cherry blossom flower is quite nice in person.
