Wow Happy New Year Everybody I hope You all had a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year. I love Christmas and everything that goes along with it but I also love the Fresh routine of a New Year!! And in my routine of getting creative and inky, it seems like forever !! What a better way to get back into the things with MTME release project!! Lets get started!!
This month at MTME the theme is So Fortunate!!
When I saw this template and stamps that went along with it I knew right away what I wanted to do. I love Chinese lanterns so I decided to make a luminary. The flower is heat embossed with gold. I stamped the symbols on velum and pasted on the crimped velum I have used as the window. If I were to redo this project I think I would just stamp the image directly on the velum and then crimp but this look fine to. I have a battery operated candle on the inside. I have only made one but you could re-size this template smaller and make several of them and hang on Bakers Twine..
On My card I have used MTME digital paper Well Woven and Flutters and Flowers. I followed along with the same theme of heat embossed gold. I have stamped my sentiment on vellum :)... Here are some more details.
