Hello Friends!
Today I have a really fun project to share with you! I used products from the newest Lawn Fawn release to create a paper lantern with fun silhouettes that appear when a light is placed inside.
I constructed the sides of the box with rainforest cardstock. Then I made four panels with alcohol ink on translucent yupo paper. This is where the light will shine through. On each side I layered the tropical backdrop die cut over the colorful Yupo panel then added a die cut hibiscus in one corner on each side.
On the backside of the Yupo panels I added images from Toucan Do It and die cute tropical vine borders. These elements and not seen until a light is placed inside the lantern.
I love the warm glow these inked panels give and the silhouette images are a fun surprise. If you would like to see just how this project came together you can watch the video below or watch it HERE on my YouTube channel.
If you want to check out another lantern I made many years ago you can check it that post HERE. It is Halloween themed, but it is constructed a bit differently and uses vellum in place of yupo.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
