This first sample uses the beautiful Roses and Rose Leaves dies. I love making flowers!! I also used the new Lattice Background die, Fancy Fan die and a sentiment from Lovely Flower.
I started my roses by dragging cardstock through spritzed distress inks, letting it dry before die cutting. After cutting several of each die, gluing and layering, I lightly spritzed them with water and scrunched the flowers. This helps to break down the fibers in the paper allowing to shape the petals. Set them aside to thoroughly dry and they’ll hold that shape! The leaves were sponged with ink while still in the die.
For the sentiment, I trimmed the end off of the fan and sponged the edges.
My next sample is simply done using Luminous Lantern die, which can be 4 or 5 sided, and the set, To My Friend.
I chose to make a 5 sided lantern. For the stamped panel, I masked the edges, stamped and sponged the background (before assembly), and added liquid pearls for fun!
The 5 sided version is good size and only limited to your imagination to what you could put inside!!
My daughter happened to be making cupcakes and gave me one to try in the lantern. How cute to surprise a friend on their birthday, special day or just because!!
Plenty of room for some pretty paper filler too!
The full release can be seen on the ODBD blog.

and their awesome creations!

I love the dandelion lantern you show us how it looks from all angles so we can understand how it is inside and out beautiful
I love the luminous box you shared with us. It looks so rich and bright with the 5 sided shape. The background really gives it that wow factor as well. I can think do so many items I could put in it to give as a special gift tho someone special!
Thanks for sharing!

I have always loved lanterns like this and the dandelion is so pretty. The lattice work card is also gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your ideas and lovely work with us.

Hi Dawn, Being on the other side of the international dateline causes confusion as to the possibility of being counted into the blog hop, but it doesn't matter to me. I'm just glad to be able to comment on the beautiful projects you made! The lantern is sure to be a hit with crafters. I can picture them used for parties! Maybe someone already commented the same. Anyway, your card and the lantern are beautiful. Thanks for sharing them!
WOW... Dawn, love your card with those pretty 3D roses. The dark card base make the lattice background and flowes pop up. Your 5-side lantern is so totally AWESOME! It is a cupcake box! You are so creative. Love the side you sponged and stamped. What a beautiful way of giving gift to your friend. Thank you so much for the inspirations.
Wow girl! I love the navy behind the lattice! Great background for the gorgeous roses! And the lantern is amazing!!! So perfect for that incredible cupcake!!!!
Dawn, I love your card and lantern! The roses turned out perfect- love the scrunched look :-) The lantern is gorgeous- love the stamped panels as well as the ribbon detail- perfect for so many occasions (plus the cupcake looks delish :-)) Thanks for the inspiration, sweet friend!
