Welcome to the new challenge at Make My Monday which is use light, (candles, Christmas lights, Lightbulbs etc.) so there is lots of scope here. My example uses a lantern die set from Divinity Designs and a sentiment from a new set I’ve just received from YNS.
Die cutting all the pieces was my first step and I chose scraps of CS to do this. Once I had all this ready I began to put the pieces together. For the lantern background I used a scrap piece of cream CS and added some yellow ink with a brush so it looks like the candle light. I used an infinity oval die set from Hero Arts to cut the gold oval. For the actual background I took a bluish/greenish coloured piece of vellum and added the snowflakes using a stencil from KaiserKraft and Lost Shadow ink. When I was about to add this over a white card base the snowflakes almost disappeared so instead I used black card base and I liked this much more. I added the sentiment and called it finished.
I am entering this card into the stencil challenge at https://stencilfun.blogspot.com/

Beautiful card Johanna! The dark background is perfect for a lantern. How did you get your ink to not smear on vellum?

Thanks a lot. I was really careful in applying it and then dried it from the back, with my heat tool. Once it was dry it was fine.
