I chose to use the set The Light of Life.
I fell in love with the lantern image the minute I laid eyes on it.
It's so rustic and charming. I stamped it with Versamark onto
watercolor paper, embossed it with black embossing powder and colored it
with Tombow markers.
I
used a new Spellbinders die set called A2 Curved Borders one and
completely cut away the edges of the front panel of the card. I hope
you can see it better opened a bit. I then used a couple of EK Success
Border punches for the top and sewed in some burlap string.
That's it for me. Now just hop along because you won't want to miss all the inspiration these gals have for you today.
