Paper Lantern Technique

[Deb Lovett]

Great samples, Stacy. Which do you like best?

I used the Paper Lantern technique for the mini blinds in the window. It's hard to see, but I used Old Paper distress ink on the "mountains" of the mini blinds. This is a special sneak peek of a new Humorous Senior stamp coming soon from I Brake for Stamps.

Fun card, Holly. Great use of the Lantern Technique!

I'm not sure, they are all three different. The grey with white was hard because as we all know it is really hard to get white to show up. I used a pigment ink, then dye ink and finally used watered down craft paint.

The trick for each is probably how and what you layer them up with. It is a fun and easy technique though, thanks for posting it Deb.

I had to try this again, and I combined it with the sketch challenge that is posted in the forums here. The silhouette flower is from I Brake for Stamps and I used kraft, artichoke, and vanilla colors here. Fun technique - thanks, Deb!

hbrown: Great card! Love the color color combination, the texture variation, and the design. Debra

Beautiful, hbrown! and I see you are using the January sketch. TFS.

I'm very interested in this technique. Easy is right up my alley!!!

It dawned on me that I'd used this technique unknowingly. I made holiday inchies last month using a crimper I found at a thrift store that embosses circles with a hole in the middle. I brushed the raised circles with ink. So, basically the same thing. It is a fun and easy technique.

Thanks for sharing with us everyone!!!

Beautiful all !!

yet another cool technique to try.... so WHERE do I get a cheap paper crimper ?????? LOL

You can find a paper crimper at Hobby Lobby or Michaels, probably at WalMart too. For planning purposes, Hobby Lobby has the 40% coupon every other week. I hope you can find one! I'd love to see what you make, Wolf.
