I am the hostess for the last Tickle a Teapotter challenge of the year, inspired by the Greek myth about Pandora's Box - you can find it HERE, along with a photo of my closed card.
(For the closed view, I made faux wood by mixing re-inker with PVA glue and painting it onto card. Cut the pieces, scored them and added them to the box. Used matt gold card to punch photo corners, embossed them and buffed them with Craft-T rub-ons. The chipboard key is from Maya Road, covered on both sides with gold EP, and attached through an eyelet with a ball chain. I made the little lock using a Spellbinders die and simply punching three holes in it with the cropadile, then attached it with brads. A screw brad also holds the bellyband closed.
Inside - I used a piece of blue card embossed with a Darice ef for the back. Outlined the clouds with a white gel pen. The little bluebirds are on tiny strips of folded acetate.
Rainbow cut from white card and sponged with DOX inks, then pieced onto a sticky address label. I added the clouds to raise it up a bit. It's attached to the further back insert in the box. The grass, with sequin flowers, and sheep are attached to the front insert. The two sides are the same green as the base, embossed with a leafy swirl ef, highlighted with a Gelato and matted onto white. The front has a sentiment from WPlus9 - for Anita's TLC I used clear packing tape on the die-cut sentiment.

so very pretty. So much to see and take in from your tiny birds, rainbow, sheep, flowers and many more---just saw video on using the packing tape on cardstock to make die cut words---such a sweet card for some lucky teapotter

I like that your sunshine comes with a rainbow, too, which for me signifies the ultimate Hope & Promise! We have not struggled & isolated for almost a year to lose hope now SO let's get on with 2021!

I saved your card for last to comment. What an amazing cover! Those doors conceal something very special. Love the ‘hardware’. And then as they open to reveal hope, a fresh perspective, and THE promise...what a positive message for this New Year. May it be filled with blessings overflowing, dear Sabrina.
