Rarely do I get the opportunity to actually create something with our files, but with Halloween being my favorite time of the year, I had to take advantage and make this spooky lantern using our Crisp Days of Fall SVG Kit and some elements from our Gothic Flourishes SVG Collection! I've even put together a video to show you exactly how I welded everything together! Remember that you can customize this lantern for any and every occasion! I created the stained glass with a graphic that I created in Photoshop and printed out on transparency paper.

Welding Instructions

I didn't do anything special as far as embossing or embellishing goes. It's just card stock, some accent paper on top and the stained glass transparency paper that give this lantern it's spooky feel. Happy Halloween everyone!  ~ Leo
