80th birthday card

[lilac froggy Jan]

I made this last week for my auntie's 80th birthday:)
I was going to make a book style card tied up with ribbons, but ended up with this.
This is the front of the card and box. The lady is quite deeply decoupaged but it doesn't show very well in this picture unfortunately.

More of a close up of the front of the card. Was a lucky find on the net these decoupage sheets. My auntie loves pink and the flapper lady was appropriate to the era:)

I added some events of 1928 to the pages on one side.

And some events on 26th June through history

I had to make the box strong so nothing was damaged in the post. So used the thixk box card from crafter's companion and stuck the embossed bit on the front to make it look nicer.
