Day 29: 31 Days of Halloween

Day 29: Sugar Skulls

Aren't these cute skulls?  Only at Halloween could

you ask this question?  I love how colorful you can make them. 

They are Mexican Sugar Skulls used to celebrate the 

"Day of the Dead".  

Here's a link on Wikipedia for "Day of the Dead"

For the background, I inked up a card and 

ran it thru the Cuttlebug with the swirly folder

and then light rubbed the swirls to make them stand out.

The sugar skull stamps are from Bombshell Stamps. I colored

them with copics, distressed them with a little

tea dye and, gave them a squirt with the 

Marshmallow Glimmer Mist.  If you look

at them from different angle, it really made them

look like they were made in sugar.

I can't believe it is almost Halloween.

I hope everyone is having fun gearing up 

for this weekend.
