I love this snowy white holiday scene with the bright lights emanating from the windows! So our challenge is a "white christmas." Here is what I came up with:
My friend Crystal gave me the idea of making a lantern small enough to hang on a Christmas tree and after seeing all the beautiful lanterns that Norma (one of my favorite designers) made, I had to give it a try but had to make something smaller scaled. So I pulled out my spellbinder dies and got busy. My light element is a battery operated tea light. You can't see the light too well in this photo but the others show the light much better.
My image is Tilda in Winter Light which doesn't seem to be in stock at the Magnolia-licious store right now but will soon be. Here is a link to the mini image of Tilda in Winter Light - oh so sweeet! I also used a Magnolia Doohickey die for the swirls on the sides and back of my lantern - I LOVE MY DOOHICKEYS!! ;)
I will enter this project at the following challenges:
Delightful Challenges - embossing
Dutch Dare Card Challenge - ornament
Stampin With the Dragon - sparkle
Totally Gorjuss Challenge - snow
Allsorts Challenge - last minute Christmas project
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - winter wishes
Wags n Whiskers - snowflakes
Stamp with Fun - christmas
Pink Elephant - winter wonderland
Well, thanks so much for visiting me today. I hope you can play along with us at the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog! I'll look for you there! big hugs!!

That's gorgeous altered project Angela. I actually finished a lantern a while ago, but never get a chance to post it. But I love yours. Yours is shorter and it's perfect to fit for the Christmas tree as an ornament. This really gave me a great idea. I might have to case yours and do some for tree ornament for next year!! Thanks so much for sharing this :o)

OMG!!!! you are so talented. I can't stop looking at this beautiful lantern. Your coloring is lovely and the design of the lantern is amazing.
what a lovely idea to put a battery operated tea light inside. I haven't seen those here in Australia. Not to say we haven't got any.
TFS your incredible creation.

STUNNING! That is the only word for this gorgeous creation! I can't imagine all the measuring you must have done to get your openings all lined up perfectly. I'm so mathematically challenged it would be hopeless for me. Your coloring of Tilda is beautiful and with the yellow of the light shining through your panel the entire effect is perfect for this challenge! Awesome work!

Barb
