Skeleton Band


Hello my crafting friends, what ever must you think of me, so sorry for putting this up with no information!!!
I know it is pretty obvious what the card is of lol!!! Briefly the background was made by coating the card in Aquatints then shaking a layer of salt over the top and leaving it to dry. This give the card a lovely texture but also a unique pattern made by the salt so every one will be different.

I stamped the corner stamps and edging stamps using Stazon Black ink then inked round the edge with Black Soot distress ink.






I added each skeleton doing the different pose with their arms and heads on each one depending on what instrument they were playing.

Each instrument I stamped with the flower stamps in the collection and coloured them in, I then gave them a couple of coats of Spray & Shine as this gave a glossy look to the instruments.

I made each skeleton a hat out of Black card and drew the design on each with a White Gel pen, placing each skeleton on the card where I wanted them and the card was finished.

I hope those of you who have watched any of the shows have enjoyed Sheena's demos.

I will in future put up the image an description on future posts at the same time lol!

Thank you for looking, Jacquie xxx

  4. This made me smile which is what Day of the Dead is all about I was in Mexico a couple of years ago and witnessed all this "holiday" Lots of characters and one was called Lady Caroline, I think, all bright and cheery A lovely way to commemorate our loved ones that are no longer with us
