Today is Day of the death a day to honor our loved ones that had passed on. In Mexico is a big celebration, here in the States is more of a way to party but thanks to that I was able to find things to have an Altar this year as you are able to find lots of things to decorate for your parties 😀 My altar was a little different as I didn't add any photos for one as I believe you have to let the death rest after they are gone so I was not inviting them to come I was just honoring them. I had some paper skulls since they don't sell sugar skulls to add names of our loved one we were honoring. And also I didn't put fresh or real food as I'm not expecting visitors 😀 I would plan this better next year so Bret will do some steps and will have another area but in the meantime this is what I did
Now for the card I sent to my family, I started by using a layer of Accent Opaque Digital International Paper 80 lb. Cover Smooth white cardstock then I added Tim Holtz distress ink picked raspberry, Victorian velvet, carved pumpkin, crackling campfire, festive berries, ripe persimmon with Erin Lee Creative blending brushes; I let it dry for a few minutes and then I die cut it with Double stitched rectangle die by Kat Scrappiness then I stamped my images from Día de los Muertos stamp set by Inkadinkado with VersaFine Clair nocturne then decided it needed a bit more so I sprayed with my mixed of I believe Nuvo mica mist midnight horizon and maybe Imagine Sheer shimmer craft spray sparkle I forgot to label my mini mist spray, then I let it dry completely before I mounted on a layer of Park Lane 110 lb. smooth black solid core cardstock which I die cut with Cindy Echtinaw Designs Card Creator Perfect Layers A then stamped my word Feliz from Feliz stamp set by Elena Guillen-K & Sizzix/Ellison also with VersaFine Clair nocturne and finally mounted to my card base of Accent Opaque Digital International Paper 120 lb. Cover Smooth white cardstock
