Hello Crafty Friends,



Today, I am mixing Halloween and Thanksgiving together.  I am practicing drawing and painting skulls - it is supposed to help you draw faces better - lol.  When I went to do a sentiment for this skull, I spotted the new Always Thankful Greeting and immediately wanted to use it. 



This combination makes me think of unusal things to be thankful for:  good bone structures, our ancestors, teeth, that we have hard skulls to protect our brain, forensic science, and the gift of life. Can you think of more?

I did this one with two colors of Daniel Smith watercolor on regular white cardstock from Michaels.  The sentiment is stamped with Close to My Heart Black and all the paper is edged in Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Vintage Photo and Black Soot mixed together on my sponge.  

Hope you are finding things to be thankful for this Halloween.  

Hugz,

Nancy

Oh my gosh Nancy I love this so much! I have been building up my skull images as my kid decided while away at college to get his first tattoo of a skull. LOL! So I have been making cards with skulls for him. This is brilliant and so well done. And the sentiment works great to again remind everyone there is always something to be thankful for. That sentiment can be used for so much.

Ooh, that skull is so amazing! My son would love that!
You did an incredible job water coloring too and the colors are so perfect!
Super fun and amazing!
BTW, my son has skull tattoos all over his arms and legs...good grief says mom! I have to say though, most are very well done pieces of art.

Your water coloring is amazing Nancy! I will admit to not being a huge fan on skulls in general, but they totally work for Halloween!
