Gorgeous Sugar Skull Card by Larissa Heskett

Gorgeous Sugar Skull!

Today we are sharing a beautiful sugar skull card by Larissa! She used the pretty swirly skull image from our new Beautiful Bones Stamp Set and colored it to look like a sugar skull. She trimmed it out with the coordinating Beautiful Bones Die Set and used it as the focal point for her card. She layered it over a circle and then she created an amazing bouquet of flowers around the circle using blooms from our Lovely Blooms Stamp Set. She colored those flowers and leaves in gorgeous colors and trimmed them out using the coordinating Lovely Blooms Die Set, adding them on her card in layers! For the background she repeat stamped the sentiment "celebrate today" from the Happy Little Thoughts Stamp Set in black. This amazing card is sure an eye-catcher!
