Robin Card and Gift Box

Morning all, sorry I've not been leaving many comments on all your gorgeous projects, but I've not been too well again.  The old fibromyalgia hasn't been great, I've had a two day migraine and the mother of all colds!  Anyhow, I've unhitched the pity wagon as my pal, Alison, would say and I've even done a bit of crafting!
It's an Imagination Crafts stamp coupled with Pan Pastels again, this time I borrowed one of my Mum's stamps and we had fun playing with it together.

Once again, I stamped with Versamark, and dusted on the Pan Pastels in shades of green with a brush, I love the subtle look this gives.  I added a touch of shimmer with a metallic Sakura pen on the swirls on the left hand side.  The robin was then paper pieced with Krafty Christmas Lili of the Valley and Papermania Boofle papers.  I used a Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page set to create the holly border, layered up with more Boofle papers, added some tartan ribbon with a bow and finished with some red glitter domes and lustrous red pearls for the holly berries.
The matching gift box was made on my Boxer board from green pearl card and was topped with a matching robin panel made in exactly the same way as the card.
