CRAFT Challenge #77

It's Thursday again, and that means it's time for another C.R.A.F.T Challenge! 

Please join us for C.R.A.F.T Challenge #77:  Use Vellum on your card or project.  Layer it, emboss it....time to get creative with Vellum!

Our fabulous prize is provided by
http://shop.sewmanycards.com
Prize for the winner is their choice of 5 stamps from the shop.
 
Here is my vellum creation.......
A Christmas Luminaria
For easier access to the votive, I made a door on hinges. 

I really love these lanterns, and have made several of them for various occasions other than just Christmas.  This lantern based on a Lantern Gift Box which I found HERE

Basically, I followed the template, except that I attached the roof to the lantern base (it's glued, so the roof top does not open.)  Then to access the votive, I made a door which is attached by small hinges. 
Project matierials:
Stamps:  All images are from Di's Digi Downloads
* Images were printed on X-Press It Blending Card & coloured with Copics
Paper:  Stampin' Up! Real Red, My Mind's Eye DP
Tools:  Spellbinders Labels #8, Martha Stewart large & small Snowflake punches

Season's Change

Welcome back, Friends!  Come join me this week for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #78 - "Season's Change!" This week's challenge is to create a card or project using ONLY colors of Fall!   Oooh, how pretty, huh?! Our SPONSOR this week is  Magnolialicious Our lucky winner's PRIZE:  Here is my DT creation for this week's AWESOME challenge theme.... An inside view of the card, and custom envelope/box. All of the flowers on this card are handmade. I know, you're probably thinking, "oh what a lot of work!"  Actually, it really is not. I use paper punches to create the flowers and leaves.

I was kind of all over the place with this card.  It has a little bit of everything: Stamping, stitching, handmade flowers ( you know me & my handmade flowers!), border punches, and a pretty butterfly.   I wanted to try making a new flower.  The larger flower was created using an apple, star & daisy punches.  Each of the flower centers have a touch of bling by Viva Decor glitter pen in "Hologram."  The butterfly was cut from a Nesties die.  I blinged up each layer with stickles & hit with 2 coats of Crystal Effects.  I used Kaiser Craft pearls in "Bliss" for the body & coiled some
