Hello crafters and welcome.
I want to make wonderful Alison Bomber's Lantern that her last Christmas project.
Although over on PaperArtsy blog she has been back yesterday and I inspired by her fab Garden Lantern project again, I played along with her and you can see here.
 It was the first time I made something on the jar. I found small jam jar in my kitchen and I used paints fresco onto the jar same as her colours. It went well but....


When I have stamped Darcy's stamps EDY05 EDY06 by Olive Archival,
It is not supported well that bottle was so small and slipped stamp.


But It was lot of fun the project -Thank you Alison!-I'll give it a go!
