INAS Challenge #36

Good Morning,

I am back!  The surgery wasn't that bad....and I feel so much better not having this infection running through me.  I have a lot more energy.  I still have stitches in my mouth and my mouth is sore, but I hope that will go away soon!

We have a new challenge over at International Art and Soul the challenge this Fortnight is "Art Nouveau"  I LOVE Art Nouveau to think about what it is, picture Tiffany lamps with the beautiful lamp shades and you've got it!

So here is my design team project.



Two butterfly lanterns and a card.  Wouldn't this make a perfect Hostess gift?  I try to never go to a party empty handed.  

Here are the lanterns lit up.



And here is the card.






 Recipe for these lanterns and card:

Paper - Vellum Variety Pack - Paper Accents
Paper - The Sweetest Thing and Lemonade (scraps from my stash too)
Pearls on card - Prima

I am entering this project into the following challenges:

Creative Artiste Mixed Media - #39 Challenge ATG
Cut It Up - Challenge #150 Anything But A Card (entering butterfly lanterns)
Just Add Ink - #414 Just Add A Window or a Frame



Wow!  You made it all the way down to the end of the blog!  Ready for me to pick a winner of the prize giveaway?  It is...http://creativecraftsbylynn.blogspot.com/ Congratulations Lynn, please send your mailing address to america57@comcast.net
