So, for my birthday this year my son gifted me with this lantern die and I promptly cut one from some plain textured grey cs thinking I could add some patina to it with rub ons ( which I could not find, I re-arranged some things a while back and my creamy rub ons are still hiding.) so, I had the bright idea to use a foam blender of DOX blue-ish ink over it and that really made it blue. so, I used a baby wipe to remove most of the ink as it has that plastic feeling coating on top. gave up on that thought and decided to watercolors 4 sprigs cut from scraps of wc paper and, two candles and sets of flames from wc paper also. because, when I put one candle inside one opening of the lantern it looked really odd. and when I centered the candle you could not see the flame. ( so I decided to put a candle in both openings with the idea that this is really one of those big 3 wick ones and you just can't see the third wick because of the lantern lol. The base was some white washed textured coredinations which seems to have photographed as pink. ( its dark here ) at any rate I did enjoy this. tfl.
