So Lisa put in Day of the Dead stamps into our stamping challenge. Not really loving the stamps, but I did get my mind in a different direction and really helped to give me a much needed distraction from my mom's health problems.
Day of the Dead is a Mexican tradition, and from my research it is very colorful with lots of flowers. That is why I decided to make the skeleton into a Senorita with a floral dress. The colors used are Tango, Turquoise, and Olive. Very vibrant colors. Used the trio flower punch and highlighted the center of each with Stickles. I stamped the skulls on the base card then ran it thought the Cuttlebug using a paisley embossing folder.
