Gold Lantern

 by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! Is it just me or does it seem like this year is just screaming by? Which is odd since we've been shut down for most of it. But the way this year has gone so far, maybe we should have just put up the Christmas Tree in July & called it a year! I saw a joke the other day that said "I'm not buying a 2021 planner until I see a preview". My thoughts exactly. If you think about it...back in 2015 when asked, where do you see yourself in 5 years..EVERY SINGLE PERSON got it wrong. Just sayin'....

Along w/ my vote to skip right on to Christmas, I have a Christmas card today. I stamped the lovely new Lantern & colored it w/ Copics. Did a little out of the box to keep from cutting off the top of the lantern & the tip of the cardinal's tail (trust me..birds do not like you messing w/ their tails). 

On the Kraft layer, I stamped the new pinecone all over w/ the Distress oxide ink but a left a space for the greeting. The pine green circle was dry embossed & I rubbed some gold rub n buff type paste over the top of it. A white gel pen was used to add some highlights to the greeting.

Here's the inside & below are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
