Dia dos Muertos - You're Sugar Sweet Skull Card


Happy Weekend friends, Ilda here!

This year the Day of the Dead is celebrated on November 2, typically it is November 1st the day after Halloween. "Día de Muertos" is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico. The day is viewed not as a day of sadness but as a day of celebration as their loved ones awake and celebrate with them. This day is also known as all Saints Day and is celebrated by many Catholics around the world. So I thought it would be fun to create a card in honor of this special day.

CARD DETAILS

The stamp I am using today comes from Ink On 3's SUGAR SKULL stamp set. I began by stamping out with Versafine Onyx Ink and then heat setting the image with CRYSTAL CLEAR embossing powder. I then fussy cut the simple image.


Next, I colored in the skull using a variety of shimmer powders that I had watered down to watercolor with. I then stamped the sentiment using BLACKOUT Ink onto the card base and popped the skull image in place.


To embellish this simple card, I added some flower petals sequins and finished the centers with a seed bead. I also added glossy accents to the image for some added dimension.

I hope this very simple yet colorful Sugar Sweet Skull Card inspired you today. Thank you all for stopping by. Have a wonderful crafty weekend!
