Translucent vellum paper can create a magical effect, especially when combined with other reflective surfaces and candlelight!
I have a tutorial on how to make these lovely lanterns over on the Silhouette UK Blog today. The tutorial uses the feathers design lantern by Nic Squirrell, but a similar process could be applied to any of her lovely lantern designs. Using the same feathers design I also made a variation using alcohol inks to add a splash of colour to the vellum. Pop on over to the Silhouette UK Blog for a tutorial on how to make both.

The blue ink is more apparent in day light, but then almost becomes invisible when the candle is lit, battery operated of course.
Looking forward to seeing your finished projects.
