Welcome to the Layers of Color Ornament Blog Hop!
The beginning of the blog hop is at the Layers of Color blog. If you came here from there, you are hopping in the right order.
This is the place to discover creative paper ornament ideas, be inspired by talented designers, and get showered with gifts!
First, some ornament inspiration!...
I made these lantern ornaments using the layers of Color Reindeer Waltz and Christmas verses clear stamp sets.
This view shows the lantern shape:
I cut my ovals before assembling the lantern using my Spellbinders oval dies. The scalloped oval frame is also a Spellbinders die. Then I just blinged it up a bit with ribbon and little gems. I purchased the tassel at JoAnnes craft store.
The little light is a battery operated "candle".
Close up view:
I used Tsukineko Momento black die ink on vellum.
Now for the good stuff!...
