Hello everyone
Dia de los Muertos or
Day of the Dead as we more commonly know it
I find everything
about it so intriguing, with it's history from Ancient time, parades
and festivals. The
whole concept of celebrating our dearly departed
*Loved ones* each
year seems so respectful.
Here's a little
project put together creating some of those brightly coloured Calaveras or
Sugar Skulls as we know them, using some new That's Crafty! products.
Using the newly
released Dinky Skull Stencil, I drew around the inner skull six times, cut
out three and darkened the facial apertures of the other three with black ink.
The lower jaw I
snipped off as I wanted to layer these on top to give dimension.
I then had a play
stamping images from all four new sets of Lynne’s Affirmations
with Memento inks as
well as the lower jaws on the full skulls.
Onto a 7x7 card I
stamped around the edges using those same stamps creating a border. The
stamped Skulls were layered on top of the full Skulls with foam and a
sentiment stamped
from set 6 of Lynne's Affirmations.
Those googly eyes
were an irresistible addition.
All matt and layered
with contrasting black card I finally edged the
eye and nose sockets with a black marker to give more depth.

My *Sugar Skull* card
is complete.
Thank you for sharing
your time.
I Look forward to
sharing some more
That's Crafty!
creativity with you all very soon.
Take Care.
