Monday Montage 234 - Lighting the Way

I am so looking forward to this coming week.  My Mum is coming for a visit and I haven't seen her since Christmas.  I am trying not to pack every minute, but include some restful time.  Lets hope the weather cooperates for some outings.

I got this stamp set and have been chomping at the bit to play with it, but wanting to come up with something cute. I have to credit the inspiration for this card to Yvonne Spikmans (smaller lantern).  She is a Stampin UP Artisan.  All of them have brilliant ideas.  I immediately thought of a back yard outdoor party or luau with hanging lights and flowering vines. Now I need someone with a great back yard to invite me.

I did stamp the sentiment on Velum in case I didn't like it, I wasn't stuck with it.  I am going to miss the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp and die set.  I use it a lot for sentiments and a little bit of sunflower sunshine!  I ran the black twine through the lantern loops to make it look like the power cord.
