Spooky Halloween Lantern

I had so much fun making this lantern, I had to show you all 4 sides!  I changed it around enough times, lol.  I would just look at it and  decide it would look so much better if......  revisions, there were a lot of those.  But I am really glad with the final outcome.  I used 4 Scrolls Work Rubber Stamps, House, Treaters, Haunted Moon  and Large Corner Web.  I stamped them with Stazon onto orange vellum.  The box was cut from gold foil card stock, I embossed it with Stampin Up Texture Plates Kit 4 Distressed.  I cut the fancy ovals with Spellbinders Labels 10 Nestabilities, I cut them twice, once to make the window, and then I cut them again with 2 dies to make a frame to stick outside the window.   I was loving how this was working out so instead of the lace top I had planned I ran up to JoAnns and found this awesome sheer ribbon that had some eyelash yarn and a mini garland tied onto it.  It didn't look like I thought it would, so off to my stash for the final revision, I found these awesome black purse beads to dangle off the top.  Not only did they give it the exact look I was going for, they were attached to a strip of seam binding that I glued to the inside of the lantern to give it a more finished look.  I photographed it with the tiny battery operated votive candle inside, looks really cool in the dark.  Dimensions are 3" wide (per single side panel) x 5 1/2 inches tall.  I have seen this done with a small ticket punch, I can't remember where.

Thanks for looking.  ~Diane
