Hello, this posting for Dia de los Muertos!, or ALL SOULS DAY, is being included in a Mixed Media group that are posting every month on the 15th. MMJXX (MMJ03 is the third month we have done this, August). join us! : )
Here are the Inspiration Videos we used this month.
Thanks Nancy and Jayne for the videos. Altered playing cards. : ) FUN!
Dia de los Muertos is a celebration of the lives we miss and to celebrate our own gift of life. Nov 2 is All Souls Day. Just one of the days that these celebrations take place.
I bought the stamp on eBay, search Sugar Skull or eBay seller name: stampmill_rubberstamps88, for the red rubber Sugar Skull stamp image, full disclosure she is a good friend of mine who mfg's desert/ Southwest images, mostly. There are 3 sizes of stamps with this image and this is the smallest. I really enjoyed this image she sent to me and found many friends who wanted one, when I mentioned I was adding Dia de los Muertos cards to my fall mailings.
I have many more examples of larger sizes of the Sugar Skull stamps in my gallery, their own Album at the top.
Adding USEIT2020 this is all 'stash' supplies. Using them up as a comittment to myself, this summer. haha Use them or organize!
I purchased a few of these playing cards years ago in an antique store. I added Gesso to the shiny card so that I could stamp the P Pink HEARTS to define it as a playing card and symbolic for love of lost dear ones.
Hope you enjoy! Take good care, Teresa

Teresa, this is sooooo cool. You know how I love sugar skulls and day of the dead since my birthday falls in the celebration and I grew up in New Mexico. I also love bees on cards and in real life (just not around me personally ever). So many cool details, texture, and interest on this. You did a wonderful job!!!! Many hugz
