These new stamps were released recently and created by Sheena Douglas and called Day of the Dead. I used a combination of stamps from the Floral Fiesta, Sugar Skull, and Union of the Souls sets to create this project.
I started with some ShrinkyDink material, then stamped the images on it using a permanent die ink. I then had to figure out what to color the images with to get the most vibrant image. I love the way the Spectrum Noir AquaBlend Colored Pencils went on so smooth. I didn't add any water to them, just colored the images and saturated the areas with lots of pigment. I fussy cut them, added a hole to hang it from and then used a heat tool to shrink them. You could use the oven as suggested by ShrinkyDink, but I find a heat tool works just as well.
Then I just attached them to a chain bracelet along with some beads and trinkets. I think it turned out adorable!!!!
