Day of The Dead

or Dia De Los Muertos...

A Mexican Celebration of the dead.

31st October -2nd November. 

Not to be confused with Halloween.

This is a time when they honour all the 

loved ones that have passed away.

As I created Enid's Tombstone,

I decided on a Day of the Dead journal page.

I had such fun with this page.

First I stamped on the background,

using chicken wire & gothic text.

Then I stamped my skull - Sheena Douglass

I began adding Scribble Sticks 

in Lime & Tangerine.

Once dry. I added Lime & Orange Dylusions paint

to get drips. Then Black Marble Dylusions

to get dramatic drips.

To colour my skull I began with

Septh Apter/PaperArtsy Buff

chalk paint, then decided it needed

to be just a tad whiter.

I stamped the eyes & flowers on 

my handmade washi & paint paper.

I die cut a hat twice, once in grey, once

in black using an XCut die.

Added detail with Black & White Posca pens,

before the final detail of white splashes &

Tim Holtz Alphanumeric Label die letters. 

I'm really happy with this page.
