Hello, I have TWO new postings for Dia de los Muertos! For the â20 version(s) I used two smaller sizes, available from my friend on eBay. Dia de los Muertos is a Celebration; honoring the lives we miss and to celebrate our own gift of life. !!!
I bought the stamps on eBay, search Sugar Skull or eBay seller name: stampmill_rubberstamps88, for the red rubber Sugar Skull stamp image(s). She makes them in several sizes! And full disclosure she is a good friend of mine who lives in Tucson, AZ and mfg's desert and Southwest creature images, mostly.
I really enjoyed using the two smaller sizes of this image this year, to be able to send a very different version of this image/card or gift bag front, to my friends in 2020. I found many friends who wanted one of these cards, when I mentioned I was adding Dia de los Muertos cards to my fall collection, last year. : ) It was nice to know so many friends wanted one and they responded with âwowâsâ over the Sugared cards I made. See my gallery for those fun projects. They have their own Album at the top of my gallery. : ) TFL~!
This Sugar Skull image is colored with a variety of S U markers *(berry burst, Pineapple Punch, Bashful Blue, Lemon Lime Twist), Added Stickles Star Dust to the eyeballs and teeth! What FUN!
Then layered into S U Pineapple Punch paper {(cut with a die that is rectangle with stitches on perimeter)canât remember where I got it} and Basic Black strip glued on back of PP to cover opening of die cut area.
T Holtz coredinations sanded paper (berry color) as final bg and then mounted on S U Whisper White card base.
I used the 2 smallest flower dies from the S U Succulents die set to layer into a vintage colored 'marigold' loosely imagined flower. Marigolds are the main flower of the Dia de los Muertos celebration. I used T Holtz coredinations paper, I sanded to distress. Lastly, I added Stickles YELLOW glitter glue to the centers.
I made a few of these with high raised flowers for hand delivering to my friends, but flatter version on the ones I mail by U.S. mail. They know to âfluffâ my embellies when they arrive. : )
Itâs that TIME⦠Fall HOLIDAYS and FESTIVITIES !!! safe and online and from a distance in backyard?? Hope you all enjoy your fall holiday fun of making wonderful 'gifts' for our friends and family.
stay safe and well.
TFL!!

Wowza! Love the texture of the sanded paper and of course you did a fabulous job with all of the coloring! Love the stitching and the matting of the skull. Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing!
