Unexpected
>> Tuesday, October 2, 2018
Hi Everyone,
As soon as I saw the new Scary Skull stamp that was recently released at DRS Designs, my thoughts turned to a photo I took on vacation in San Diego. I think it was somewhere in Temecula/the southern California wine country, that I snapped this:
I knew I wanted to take inspiration from it for my card...My teammate Nancy had the same thought, and made a fantastic Day of the Dead card in this post here. I decide to go the colorful route, and stamped, fussy cut and decorated my skulls using these stamps and my own doodles:
I wrapped my embossed background with some printed ribbon and added the new
Expect the Unexpected Greeting to the front.
I had originally made three skulls for the front, but what I had in mind didn't work out, (Plan A never works out for me!), so I brought the extra skull to the inside.
I finished it off using the new Deco Happy Halloween stamp and the Scroll Corner Tile stamp again.
Spooky greetings to you and yours...
Have a great day!
Karin

Karin, that inspiration photo from your vacation is so cool, and you did an excellent job with your skulls. Fun colors and fun designs - I love them! The new skull stamp is actually very fun to play with, and I love that expect the unexpected greeting. Fun, fun, fun. Hugz
SO fun and colorful Karin!! Excellent job making the skulls so fancy! How did you get the flower eyes so perfect???? Great idea using the extra on the inside. Your ribbon is a wonderful accent too!
so cute Karin! Love your decorated skulls! So cool like day of the dead type thing right? I Which I could doodle so well, I would mess it up for sure! Love the bright colors too!
How fun is this, Karin! Love your harlequin ribbon & sugar skulls. Great colors on this. How funny that so many of us had the same idea. I have sugar skull type one, too.
Karin, your colorful skulls are fantastic! You did a great job on them. Fun Halloween card!
