Fairy lantern

Good afternoon fellow crafters 

In all my time (many years) in crafting I've never had a desk to craft on.  I've always used the sofa, laptray and recently my bed lol.  

It was my birthday Saturday and I asked for a desk and chair for my crafting.  I'm absolutely so happy I now have a solid surface with my crafting supplies in storage next to me , a tv to watch whilst crafting and a comfortable chair.  It's so nice to sit and craft on a solid surface lol.  So thank you mom I truly appreciate it. 

My first project using my brand new desk is this beautiful lantern.  It's a die from tattered lace called "East meets west". I combined another fairy die from tonic on 2 panels instead of the normal die usually used for this lantern.  You can buy this die here: 

East meets west die

Card stock is from create and craft core collection.  Fabulous quality cardstock. 

Flowers are from different sets of tattered lace dies. 

I used 2 fairy dies to add onto it.  One is from poppy crafts and the other from tattered lace called star flower fairy

The paper I used for the inside of the lantern is gold textured paper from tonic.  It gives of a beautiful warm glow when you place a battery operated candle inside 

Gems are from my crafty stash

Hope you like this one 

Thanks so much for stopping by and thank you do much for your lovely comments 

Love
