I've been wanting to participate in one of Cath's Tuesday Triggers for the longest time but for whatever reason just couldn't get it together prior to this week! I adore the lantern photo she chose and thought my new set from WMS was just the ticket!
The photo reminded me of an elegant evening outdoors so I thought I'd kick up the lanterns a notch by embossing them with gold and silver embossing powder. I cut them out, pierced a hole in each, and strung them on some gold twine. I attached each using a foam square in such a way that they'd look like they were swinging a bit in a light evening breeze. The blue cardstock I used for the background has a bit of a shimmer as well making this a very elegant card!Supplies - Stamps - Asian Gardens/Additions (WMS), Cardstock - Papertrey Ink, Ink - Watermark (Versamark), Silver, Twine - Crafta, Foam Squares
You did an awesome job with this beautiful design...love how you popped the lanterns and added the gold cording...I need some of those on my back porch!!!!
