ORIENTAL LANTERN

Today's card is quite a bit different than any I've made before.  Recently I received some Webster Pages papers from Joans Gardens and I already had the Lantern die from Creating Everlasting Memories.  To purchase the lantern die which at this time is 75% off, click here:  (Rev-0158) "Lanterns" Die.   Even better I had purchased the Cuttlebug Oriental embossing folders bundle quite a while back. 

I trimmed one of the 6 x 6 papers to include an appropriate portion of the design.  A piece of the off white card stock was run through the Cherry Blossoms folder and a strip cut for the bottom of the card.  I ran a sponge which had been inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Brushed Corduroy).  I also sponged the distress ink around the edges of the dp.

The lantern was cut using Core'dinations papers and adhered to the front of the card.  The sentiment is from a set of Stampendous wood mounted stamps.

If you are interested in Tim Holtz products, let me know and I will order for you with my normal discount.

Thanks for stopping by!
