Here's my card for this week's Fun on the Farm Teapot Tuesday challenge. Since Sue mentioned in her request for cards for Betty that she liked owls, I went in that direction, and added little stitched leaves for Pat's challenge element.
I used the BOX CARD tutorial from our Tutorials section. There's always such a long gap in the intervals between making them that I forget the fold - though it's a basic origami style box.
Luckily, I got that part done before I got sick. I stamped my owl and sponged the background last night while cooking dinner, and then coloured it with pencils and added the embroidered leaves after I'd gone back to bed.
Stamped a verse for the belly-band this morning, and that's it.
The inset photo shows the closed card.

Your box card came out very pretty in spite of you and hubby being under the weather---hope both are feeling better now, your owl is playing hide and seek inside the box--neat idea.

This is a card that feels like a present. You have wrapped this box-style card up so beautifully Sabrina that it is going to take Betty a little while to feel like opening it, but oh, when she does open it up- magic! This owl scene is incredible and will leave Betty smiling from ear-to-ear. I am beyond impressed at the card creations you do when you are feeling so poorly Sabrina- what an inspiration you are! ~Karen.
