Reneabouquets Explosion Box Lantern - by DT Tina Goodwin

Good morning friends! We have just a few days until Thanksgiving...are you ready?!? I think for the most part, I am. We always celebrate on the day before Thanksgiving because my husband has to work the swing shift on Thursday. 

This year, we will have 20 people at our house for dinner! It will be the first year that our son will not be home. He's 18 now and has a job 😢 I don't know how he grew up so fast. He has promised to come over before dinner to visit with us though. I will take what I can get! 

Now on to this fabulous Reneabouquets Explosion Box Lantern. When I first saw these Explosion Boxes in the Reneabouquets shop, I thought they looked like a vintage lantern. So that's the look I went for while I was creating. 


What do you think? With the lights it really does look like a lantern, huh? 

I think this will make a sweet addition to our Christmas decor. 


I was able to achieve the textured rusty look by using Ranger Tim Holtz Opaque Crackle Texture Paste and Finnabair Prima pastes.


The snow is a mixture of glitter and salt. I was able to add it to the lantern by laying down a thin layer of Gesso and then sprinkling the salt/glitter mixture over it. 



Look at how gorgeous this butterfly is!! The colors fit perfectly with the lantern. 



I inked the edges of the flowers, snowflakes and the leaves with distress inks. 


I colored the Christmas tree with distress markers.


I am in the process of editing a process video. Once I have that all done, I will share it on my youtube channel. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Below you will find a list of all the Reneabouquets items that I have used on my project. I hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
