"Dia de los Muertos" at Tag Along

Good morning, dear crafting friends!

I thought I would share a quick make from yesterday evening with you - a tag for Tag Along's challenge "Dia de los Muertos".

I love the theme and this very special kind of folklore art (and especially what artists like Michael DeMeng for example make of it) - so I HAD to join in and give it a try myself.


The tag is made rather simple this time: I stamped a skull image with black jet archival ink and did some colouring, handwriting, doodling and painting with felt tip pens and white acrylic colour and a detail brush, some additional blending with DIs and a stamped border.


Hope you like it!
Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

  2. Very clever Claudia! Love how you transformed the stamped skull and gave it that Mexican/South American loo with your hand doodling, brilliant!

  3. Brilliant! It's definitely got a creepy element to it with the background colours you used - and I love the hand decorated skull. Thanks for playing :-)
