dia De muertos

Howdy peeps! It’s a beautiful Sunday and I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m back up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with a center easel card! You know how I love fun folds and this one is so easy and works up fast. I used the day of the dead cat in the Scary Cats 2 stamp set which I paired with pink patterned papers in my stash.

I cut the A2 size card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and covered the panels with pink plaid, polka dot and floral patterned papers. I stamped the day of the dead cat from the Scary Cats 2 stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on CutCardStock Basis White cardstock, colored the flowers on her head and face with alcohol markers, and fussy cut her.

I adhered the cat to the center panel, stamped the sentiment in black ink, and added a few gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Morganite Muse Embellishment Mix with my Trinity Pick Up Stick. The final step was adding a ‘stop’ for the center easel to rest on. I created this by stamping the circular cluster of flowers (in the same stamp set), coloring them with alcohol markers, and punching the cluster with a 1″ circle punch. I then layered it on several more punched circles to give it some dimension.
