What exciting sets we have to show you today for Day 3 of the WMS August Release Previews! Claire has designed 2 beautiful mini sets with lanterns, posts, candles and holly adornments -
Little Lanterns and Bright Seasons. There's also a lovely sentiment set called
Light of the World - perfect to use with these lantern sets or alone!
Although your first thought might be to grab the lantern sets for Christmas/Winter cards - I decided to use this lovely large lantern from Bright Seasons to create a spooky Halloween card!
This beautiful lantern, the candle, flame and glow are from
Bright Seasons. The owl is from
Halloween Party, the ravens, fence and Happy Haunting are from
Hocus Pocus. I stamped the images and sentiment on white card stock and then punched a circle to mask for the moon. I sponged around the edges with Dusty Concord and Spiced Marmalade distress inks and removed the mask to reveal my spooky full moon!
I hope you will stop by again tomorrow for the August Release Blog Waltz - you'll have a chance to win your choice of a stamp set from the new release! Make a list of your fav sets - they will all be available for purchase tomorrow!
Off we go to see all the wonderful Lantern projects the Design Team has created today!

What a fantastic halloween card Julia! I love the glow you achieved with the inking and the images, just magical!
Oh my.. now THIS I wasn't expecting. What a WONDERFUL Halloween card, you definitely went outside the box with this one. Fantastic, just fantastic.
I LOVE this card, Julia! Sooo creative, and I never would have thought to use the lanterns for Halloween! So fun and spooky...that owl perched on it is brilliant! Love the foggy look with the distressed inks and the fence in the background. And your moon is PERFECT!! PS...Saw those barn cards today, too. Swooon! Another reason I need to get a Cameo! The list of reasons keeps getting longer and longer...must remember to show it to DH ;)!!
