Everywhere you look at the moment you see products with skulls on. Handbags, phone covers, t-shirts, you name it including stamps.
I have some Sheena "Day of the Dead" stamps and also some skull stamps from Stamp Addicts "Skull-tastic" stamps.
I didn't realise that the Day of the Dead is a holiday celebrated in central and southern Mexico during the days of 1 and 2 November. This also coincides with the Catholic holiday called All Soul's and All Saint's Day, the Mexican people have combined this with their own ancient beliefs in honoring their deceased love ones.
They belief the gates of heaven are opened at midnight on October 31, and the spirits of all deceased children are allowed to reunite with their families for 24 hours. On November 2 the spirits of the adults come down to enjoy the festivities that are prepared for them.
Apparently it is a very expensive holiday time but outweighed by the belief that happy spirits will provide protection, good luck and wisdom to their families. I particularly like the multi coloured skulls such as this one.
So here are a few cards I have made using my Skull-tastic stamps by Stamp Addicts.
They lend themselves to any occasion!
Including making fun Christmas Cards!
