==================================

other places:

A. We Love 2 Create; current; theme is anything goes mixed media; my religious Christmas card uses recycled cardstock for the base, has several applications of gold glitter acrylic paint on the black and blue papers, gold metallic stars, some green marker corner doodle lines; light/glow in the lantern was enhanced with canary yellow alcohol marker

B. Let's Craft and Create; current; theme is anything goes + vintage feel; my religious Christmas farmhouse lantern card has an antique/vintage look with the cursive font on the journal card; plus the lantern with greenery image adds to looking antique/vintage/historical

C. Everybody Art; current; theme is stars; to have the lantern lit, I thought it needed a country night sky so that's why I chose dark blue and black papers to back-up the journal card and that there was gold glitter acrylic paint applied and small gold stars

D. Christmas Kickstart; current; theme is if it's Christmas, link up ------> my card is religious country night farmhouse Christmas card

E. Try It On Tuesday; current; theme is traditional Christmas; for me, religious Christmas themed cards are the traditional Christmas; portraying a farmhouse country Christmas night using a lantern to light the way to the barn is also a traditional Christmas

F. Christmas Crafts All Year Round; current; #12 or anything Christmas/winter goes
