Make it Colourful Sheer Clothing Challenge

Hi guy's, hope everyones well, I am just getting back into the swing of things. Been having some time out with Hubby and the boys.

Since I have been away there have been a few changes with Make it Colourful challenge. The challenge will now be set fortnightly on Fridays to give everyone lots more time to participate and there will be a new monthly challenge. For all the details of the monthly challenge click HERE. And for this fortnight challenge click HERE

The theme this fortnight is Sheer Clothing so I decided to use the beautiful new Angelica Prays digi. I printed her out onto vellum and coloured her using Prismacolor pencils
( I don't think I did too bad for a first time using them )


Instead of making a card I decided to try making a paper lantern and I have added a step by step tutorial using a large brown envelope.

First I scored my envelope 2" at the bottom and two sides

Then cut it to 10" length

I places my nestie cutting side up inside the envelope and put it through my calibur

Little bit of advice, don't do what I did first time and glue it yet, it makes it more difficult to decorate...lol

While it's flat I stamped and embossed all over

Next I fixed my image inside the bag and let it dry

Now all you need to do is make sure all your score lines are crisp and press the two sides in and fold and fix the flaps at the bottom

Then all I did was add some sand and a candle. For indoors I would use the battery operated but if you wanted to make a few for outside it looks lovely with a real candle.

I think these would work brilliantly with a Halloween theme too, image them sitting outside your door on Halloween evening.

Before I go I just wanted to let you know theres still time to join in the Make it Crafty Christmas blog hop HERE.
The party is still in full swing with loads of inspiration and great give aways.

Thank you for hopping over today and putting up with a long post
