I have had some small pockets of time earlier this week but painting a lantern was too scary so I worked on other challenges. Today I didn't look at the IC challenge, a challenge I always love to take, so I made myself try this. I am not too disappointed with the result. I have watercolour paints on my Christmas list so for this card I pulled out the cheap set I bought when we went to USA so I can take them when I next travel rather than pencils or Copics etc. I didn't follow the video doing my own thing!

Glad you found time to make this lantern card. I like the idea to hang it on a limb. The light it is sending out looks great. Plus, I love the sky as it reminded me of a halo we sometimes see around the moon.

Beautifully done, Janine. Like the lantern hanging from the limb. Sure like how the light is shining from the lantern. Great that you took the time to play in the challenge. TFS

Wow, Janine, this came out so well. I am still kind of afraid of it but need to go try it! Love your colors and the way the light looks. Fab. Hugz

So lovely! You did a wonderful job with your 'cheap' watercolor set! Glad you overcame your fear and gave it a go!

Oh, Janine! Your lantern is stunning! I love the blues and golds. I love that you hung it from a branch. I am so excited for you that you are getting paints for Christmas! I hope you love them!
