Snow White Lanterns

Here is the Snow White lantern design, printing white clouds over the dark red card, and then using red/purple tissue paper for the design. 

The white stands out really well here, and i love the gothicness of pose and the way the clouds in the background look to be emanating from the apple. It worked just as I had planned. Although I think the cut out bit is a little large, and you dont necessarily see all of it from one view which makes it loose its impact. 

Here are the sides of the lantern, using lino again to create an arch like flourish and cuting out an area of it to frame the central design. I really love having the extra flourished at the side as it really gives and art nouveau feel and the spirals compliment the spirally clouds.

With this lantern, I elaborated on the shadow puppet style lanterns but this time used tissue paper, and put the cut out snow white behind that. Overall I dont like the texture that the lino printing gives on the tissue paper and its much too unstrudy and dosent looks very nice without a light behind it. 

I dont think ill peruse further with the tissue paper idea.
