Let Your Light Shine

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Janine aka Jay_Bee....congrats, Janine!!  I chose this awesome lantern card to case today.  Instead of creating the lantern by hand, I used the Shining Light Lantern Die Set, a scripture stamp from the 'My Light' set, and a sunset pattern from the Landscapes Paper Pad.  For the inside of the lantern, instead of die-cutting and layering the flames, I created stencils with the dies and sponged the colors so that the scripture verse could be stamped onto the panel.  The panel was temporarily adhered to the designer paper and the light rays were sponged over scratch paper to match the sun rays in the background.  The designer paper panel was cut with the Pierced Rectangles Dies, matted with the Matting Rectangle, black brads added to the corners, then adhered to the card which was cut with the A2 Portrait Card Base and Layer Dies. Normally I would have used Foam Mounting Tape to pop up the lantern but I wanted it to be flat for mailing.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,
