Valentine Magic

The current challenge on the craftster papercraft board is to create a Valentine Matchbox Shrine that includes a surprise. I've just finished my entry, here's a sneak peek.

It measures 1.5" x 2" x .5" (not including the dangly bits)
Inside are a few bits for love magic: love powder, cinnamon sticks, comfry root, a rose bud, a lemon verbena leaf and a secret love note.
The surprise? The love note is written in lemon juice so the message can't be read unless you hold it to a flame.
The actual note says something a little different and is safely stowed away in the shrine :)
