Make your card POP with Crafter's Companion

Yes I confess, I love Day of the Dead.  The idea of honoring those that have passed is so sweet to me and I adore all the colors and festivity of the holiday.  Crafter's Companion has released a Day of the Dead collection and it's super cool. 

 

Here's a card I created using the Sugar Skull as the main focus, but really the star of the show is the flower on the skulls head.  It's from the same collection but the Floral Fiesta...isn't it so beautiful and big. 

 

Here is a complete list of project used on this card:

 

Perfect Partners, Day of the Dead: Sugar Skulls, Floral Fiesta and Dancing Skeleton. Spectrum Noir AquaBlend watercolor pencils:Deep Blue, Asphalt, Dove Grey, Chrome Orange and Ruby

 

 

Here's a tip"  adding for dimensional item to your card can really make it POP.  The flower steals the show on this card and it too was just a stamp image that I molded to get the 3-D effect and WOW!!!

The other thing I have to share with you is the newest tool in scrapbooking and if you're anything like me, you have to have all the tools.  The Art-C Grove Tool by Momento.  I used the tool for the ink distressing on this piece....check it out.
