LCDesigner Leigh...aka Moi ;0) is back today with a spooktacular Halloween Luminary featuring the following Carmen's Veranda stamps
Halloween Background
Flying Skull
I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
UPDATE: YAY!
The glow is so pretty and look at the cool pattern it casts on the wall in the photo below ;0)
I love working with faux stained glass effects and this one came together nicely. The luminary is quite large, measuring at 5.25" square and 6.75" high. I've got a tall 3" wide flameless candle in there but you can easily create a candlescape with a few in varying sizes. The photos above show the luminary with a white paper insert acting as a light diffuser and the last photo shows it without for more of a stained glass effect. In the photos below you can see how pretty it is in daylight too. I stamped 4 panels of clear artist's overlay acetate with the Carmen's Veranda Halloween image in jet black StazOn ink and applied Watermelon and Sunshine Yellow Ranger Adirondack Brights Alcohol Ink with an ink applicator. I designed the cardstock frame to fit the stamp perfectly, cut eight window panels with an Xacto knife and stamped them all with CV's Flying Skull in Brilliance Pearlescent Purple ink. Even in the dark the pearlescent ink glows too. The frame folds were scored on a scoreboard and the acetate panels adhered to the inside of the four front facing windows and the remaining four were added to the inside for additional stability and to make the inside look just as gorgeous as the outside.

All of a sudden, I realise there is a GAP in my stamp collection!!!! Great to see how effective a luminary can be.
This is really cool! Love the spooky shadow it's casting.
this is really pretty.
A friend game me a card that props up and has a "candle" behind the picture of the pumpkin.
I think it's great. Having something on all 4 sides would really be fun.
thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous luminary Leigh! This is what I like about this hop - I see so many ideas that I must have a go at!! Thanks for sharing...
AWESOME luminary!!! the stamp you used for your panels is perfect for this type of project... and I love the detail the flying skull adds to the frame. Great colors! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing luminary, Leigh!!! It truly is beautiful in daylight as well as lit in the dark. So carefully finished both inside and out. LOVE it! xxD
