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
