A Pretty Lantern





Hi all
Here is a  Dt project i have made for  In2craft showing their Die of the week offer from XCUT. It is the xcut   In the garden die...  
I decided to make something other than a card this time so i made a lantern that you can put a battery operated tealight in . 
It is quite a large lantern so i will use a few tealights to give it a good glow .
I used parchment paper to make the actual lantern which is 11cm square in size .




The die was cut 4x in navy blue card and then i cut it 4x in green so i could paper piece the green into the die as shown . I then used sue wilson graphite  guilding polish and a opaintbrush to paint the gates . I added them to the sides of the lantern and made a box base and lid to fit on the lantern 





The top has been decorated with a large navy  bow which was made using a bigz xl die. I embellished the bow with a small foamiran  handmade flower and some leaves  . I added a mat for it to sit on using the same card i used on the lantern
