Dia De los Muertos Blog Hop



Welcome to Abby's 2nd Annual
DIA DE LOS MUERTOS BLOG HOP

If you stop by to show me some live and visit my blog, thank you! But you might want to go back to Abby's blog and start hoppin there, there is lots of super CUTE projects along the way. If you are here from Sandra's blog you are in the right track and you are at your final stop.

For my project I created a monochrome card with an cute little flower that my buddy Celeste so kindly made for me. I used a black and white image for the skeleton and used RECOLLECTIONS elegance pack, which has some really cute cream and black paper, perfect to add an elegant look to any project.






To get the paper to match perfectly I used the reverse to print the image on and as the mat for the skull. I inked the edges with black Tim holtz ink and added black velvet accents and a cute little ribbon I had.

This card is in honor of my little Sister Jenny:



She left us 8 years ago at the tender age of 17, but to me it seems like yesterday that we were hanging out and enjoying life together. Although she is in our thoughts daily, on Dia De Los Muertos we like to visit her grave, decorated it and remember her vibrant smile and carefree spirit and think that one day we will be able to party in heaven with her. Love you and miss you tons Sisi!

  19. Wow what an elegant and pretty card you made. Sorry for the loss of your young sister. I'm sure she's smiling down at you from Heaven. Oh yea also what a cool name you have- which reminded me of when I was in middle school I had a classmate with the last name Xilonzochilt he was such a funny guy. TFS your project and your sisters memory.
