Sugar Skull Day of the Dead Card

Way back in November 2015 the free cover mount stamp in Craft Stamper magazine was a Sugar Skull stamp design by Darcy Wilkinson and at the time I thought I'd never use it, that is until now ...!  Last year our daughter had her face painted in the style of the Mexican Day of the Dead for a Halloween party so this card design was ideal for her birthday this year.

I've coloured the skull with promarkers and inked around the head with a blue distress ink.  Although not quite triple stamping the two corner flowers are using that same technique also coloured with promarkers.   The central aperture panel was then mounted over the skull adding random blue texture with a stamp so as to break up the white.  Finally added some ribbon & jewels die cuts once again coloured with promarkers with glossy accents to highlight the jewels.  The end card is more pretty and flowery than scary!


I've used - 13.5cm sq card blank
Neenah ultra smooth solar white card
Promarker combinations:
(Purple, Orchid & Rose Pink)
(Cool Aqua & Pastel Blue)
(Gold & Buttercup)
Tumbled Glass distress ink
Elizabeth Craft Design Ribbons & Jewels die
Various unbranded stitched dies
Mag freebie sentiment stamp
