For now though, it's sneak peek time again here at Words and Pictures. I'm over at The Artistic Stamper Creative Team Blog today with an altered jar... yes, it's time for more candlelight!
I hope you'll be tempted to hop over and take a proper look, and I hope you're all having a great week.

It’s amazing lantern...when I saw the first step with green ink, I already love it...but how you coloured the pattern, just fabulous...final look is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis flourish has been such a fun stamp. The gilding was a great way to go. I bet this made for a lovely lantern ... even though it's so hard to photograph. I'm so glad you started this "crafting hoo-ha"! - ME
