In my stamp group our challenge for the month of November was to use Light on our cards, I had recently bought this lantern die at Hobby Lobby and so you know I had to use that. The first two cards uses the greenery that comes with the die but the last card I used my other die cuts to embellish.
I have to give a thank you to my hubby, I just didn't know how to do the lantern because the candle seemed to blend in with my background, then hubby said do you have any vellum you could put behind and add ink for a glow, yes I do and off I went, love the results.
