Chinese Lantern

Here is a card I made using Embrace Life (stems) and Eastern Blooms (flowers). The paper technique is called Chinese Lantern - doesn't the stamped panel look like a section from a Chinese Lantern?

After stamping and coloring the image, you run it through the paper crimper. Then using light pressure run your stamp pad across the ridges. It's that simple! Remember your paper will be about 1/4 to 1/2 inches shorter that it was when you cut it. So make that allowance when cutting.

Hope you enjoyed this card. Leave a comment.
