All The Leaves Are Brown Too-Autumn Lantern

Hello Crafty Friends.

I just love Autumn. I love all the colours and the cooler weather, with the wood fire burning and lots of baking that leads to Winter (a season that I also love.).

The April kit from AVSC is just perfect for Autumn projects, which I used to make a little Autumn Lantern.

 

To make the Lantern I used the Sizzix Alterations, Luminary 3D Die.

 

 

Firstly I cut out the four panels in a copper metallic cardstock from my collection. I cut out four small panels of Tim Holtz idea-ology Frosted Sheets,

and adhered them to the inside of the cut out panels.

I used the fox rub-on from the kit on the front panel and one of the rub-on leaves on another.

 

 

 The base and top of the Lantern I cut in a darker metallic cardstock.

 

Next I assembled the Lantern

 

Decorating this little Lantern was so much fun. I adore the Lawn Fawn, Stitched Leaves Die from the kit. I will be using this die so much. I cut out the leaves using Little Birdie handmade papers in Autumn colours. The flowers used are from the kit. I also added some of the raffia that also came in the kit, added a little moss and some contrasting leaves I cut out from the Sizzix Thinlits, Garden Greens Die. The sentiment is from the ephemera pack in the kit.

 

Cute little Owl I fussy cut from the papers in the kit.

How adorable is the little owl button from the kit? I also fussy cut a squirrel from the papers.

 

Here is the finished Lantern I placed on a colour changing light base.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Thank you and Happy Crafting
