Black Lacquer Christmas Lantern

Good Morning!   I have had fun creating pretty Garden Lanterns with Susan's new Spellbinders die set.

The background for this card is a textured platinum card stock.  

To create the lantern, it was die cut using the Garden Lantern die set and glossy black cardstock.  It was then die cut again using silver mirror cardstock.  The black glossy lantern was cut apart so decorate the silver lantern. I used a Quatrefoil background die for the bright silver window decoration.  A piece of silver mirror card stock was attached to the back of the lantern.  The center vertical line of the lantern was drawn again with the leaf tool from the Flower Tool Kit, then bent in half slightly, for dimension.  Spellbinders silver, self adhesive  embellishments were added as a decoration on the top and windows of the lantern.  

Using the Poinsettia die set, one poinsettia was created.  Using the Pinecone & Evergreen Bough die set, one pinecone was created.  The Evergreen Bough die  was used to die cut 9 boughs.  White berries were added.

One of Susan's new Christmas Quotes was stamped with VersaMark Ink, on glossy black cardstock and silver embossed.  It was die cut with a fancy die and attached with dimensional tape.
